indicators</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>The status of the editor is displayed using graphic indicators. They inform
the user about things such as:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Editing mode (numeric/alphanumeric, language-specific modes) </p></li>
<li><p>Character case </p></li>
<li><p>Predictive Text status</p></li>
<li><p>Available space</p></li>
</ul>
<p>When the editor is in the main pane, the indicators are located in the
Navi pane. A Data query that resides in a pop-up window has its indicators
within the window.</p>
