Options menu

Show Status Bar

Shows or hides the Status Bar, which resides at the bottom of the main window.

The Status Bar indicates:

• the actual insertion point (i.e. cursor position);
• type of encoding, which the document is to be saved in (i.e. Unicode, ANSI or UTF-8);
• type of newlines that are to be used upon saving (i.e. Win, UNIX or Mac);
• and whether any modifications to the document have been made after the last Save operation.

Note: Some later testing versions of TED Notepad may use the Status Bar also to display some other info.

Stay on Top (Ctrl+T)

If checked, TED Notepad stays in front of other applications even if not active.

Note: If more than one application is in a such a stay on top mode on the desktop, their order on the screen depends on the System. There is no way to ensure, that any particular one will be the topmost of them.

Word Wrap (Ctrl+W)

If checked, the every line of the document is wrapped to fit the width of the window. Wrapping the text enables user to see all the text on the line, but it does not affect the way the text appears when it is printed or saved to a file.

Fixed-width Font (F8)

If checked, a fixed-width font is used to display the text of the current document. Otherwise, a proportional font is used.

Both these fonts may be changed and managed in the Settings dialog. See chapter Settings dialog.

Settings... (Alt+Enter)

Shows the Settings dialog which is described in the chapter Settings dialog.
