Change Details

In Blender 2.8, we have gotten rid of the Info Editor (Space Info), which previously was used, among other things, as a way to display stats and notifications. These things need a new home. Additionally, we want to have a place to communicate to the user which hotkeys apply to the current context. Previously, we used the header for this, although it was limited to certain modal tools. For Blender 2.8, we will add a new area for all of these things: The Status Bar. This new area lives on the bottom of the screen, and has three main areas: {F3056051}
