The text window size and gadgets panel

The text window size and gadgets panel

Select Size and gadgets... (Options menu, Shift Ctrl Z) to open the text window size and gadgets panel. It contains the parameters that determine the size and level of decoration of the windows for a selection of text window modes.

The default size specified in the dialog is set when a text is opened, and is the default value for Resize... (Windows menu, Ctrl Z).

The gadgets include a menu bar, scroll bar, ruler, a button bar, the scroll bar and the status/input line.

Switching off these gadgets will give you more space in text windows. However, it also means less flexibility, and less information. The menu bar shows the text position. The scroll bar indicates the stored text markers. The status line gives regular informational messages, and speeds up entry of search targets, line numbers, and permanently indicates the editing mode and the state (unchanged/modified) of the text.
