Part	Meaning
`NOR`	The mode, in the current mode’s caret colour (see Mode carets ). The rest of the row keeps the theme’s ordinary background.
`ide`	The mode: `ide` keeps live state in the TUI process, `ide+mux` keeps it in a persistent session, and `editor` has no workspace at all. See Workspaces and persistent sessions .
`Workspace: …`	The current workspace directory. When it does not fit, the beginning is replaced with `...` and the identifying end kept. Editor mode labels it `Directory: …` and shows no Git information.
`[+]` / `[STALE]` / `[RO]`	The active buffer has unsaved changes / the path it shows (a file or an explorer’s directory) disagrees with the accepted baseline / is read-only.
`412:17 · 34%`	Cursor line and column, and how far through the buffer it is.
`↪ 412:17 · 34%`	The same position with `editor.soft_wrap` enabled. The arrow matches the soft-wrap continuation marker in the gutter.
`3 sel`	Selection count, shown above one.
`main ~1`	Git branch and outstanding changes. See Status line and gutter .
`rust-analyzer 0E 2W`	Language-server summary.
`E1 W2 I3`	Unread notification counts, in their semantic theme colours. At narrow widths they compact to the highest severity plus the total, such as `E4`.

Fields after the position appear only when they apply. Pane titles carry file and buffer identity. The active theme is not shown; Space o t shows and changes it.

The percentage:

The first line reads 0% and the last 100%. No line between them does: a cursor one rounding step from either end reads 1% or 99%.
A one-line buffer reads 100%.
It follows the cursor, not the topmost visible line, so Z j and the other view-scroll keys leave it alone until the cursor moves.
