The last bottom row displays shortcuts to control | |7 the editor. The ^ means Ctrl. Sometimes this information is | |8 replaces with some status message or even a a prompt bar when the | |9 editor requires to read some extra input from you. | |10 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | filename (modified) 3/10 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | HELP: ^S = save | ^X = quit | ^F = find [status message] | ___________________________________________________________________ 6496 __
