Status line¶
The thin one-line bar at the very bottom of the window shows live state: cursor coordinates, snap toggles, current frame, render FPS, and any transient toast or error from a recent action.

Transient toasts¶
When an action completes (Export .esk, Bake textures, Save), a toast appears in the status line for 3 seconds. Errors stay on screen until the next action.
To recall the last 20 toasts: Window > History > Recent Messages.
Customizing visibility¶
File > Preferences > Status Line lets you hide any segment. Most
people leave them all on; some workflows hide FPS to reduce
distraction during long renders.
Keyboard shortcuts shown here¶
A handful of common hotkeys flash in the status line when used so
new users can see what they pressed. Disable that with
File > Preferences > Status Line > Show Pressed Shortcut.
