Well, to be honest, I never look at the status bar. In fact I just noticed
that I did not notice it disappearing.

But I guess adding it under the edit widget like it used to be there before
would make sense. In vim it shows if you're in insert mode and shows the
line number, column number on the bottom right. And the % scrolled in the
current document.
