Does anybody know the reason why some information is placed on the status bar and some are on top of the editor when using a modal operator? What are the “requirements” for some lines to be placed on the top or the bottom?
- In the move/transform operation, the information is placed on top and the bottom
- on loop cut and slide the initial number of loops is placed on the bottom, while the slide adjustment is placed on top.
- on knife operation, the information is placed only on the bottom.
- on Inset operation, the information is placed only on the top.
- etc
The only thing i notice is, that when the modal operator needs to show a mouse modifier, it’ll use the bottom/status bar, while the top bar is used when there is only a key modifier present or when it only shows a string/text information.
