Terminal Window Status Bar
The status bar is located at the bottom of the Terminal window. When browsing through the menu options or toolbar buttons, the status bar displays a short context sensitive help text.
When the menus or toolbars are not browsed, the left side of the status bar indicates to which remote host computer you are currently connected. If you are not connected, the status bar displays the text Not connected - Press Enter/Space to connect.
The next status bar field shows the current protocol version, encryption algorithm, and MAC algorithm separated by dashes (for example: ssh2 - 3des-cbc - hmac-md5). Note that the status bar displays some of the algorithm names in a longer form than the Connection screen of the Settings dialog.
The next field displays the number of columns and rows of the terminal window. If you change the size of the terminal window, this window size indicator will be immediately updated.
If you are connecting through a firewall, the next field of the status bar displays a firewall icon when the firewall is in use. Click the firewall field to open the Firewall page of the Settings dialog. For more information, see the section Firewall.
The next field displays the SSH Accession icon. If SSH Accession is running, the icon is displayed normally, otherwise it is grayed out. Click the SSH Accession field to open the SSH Accession page of the Settings dialog. For more information, see the section SSH Accession.
If you have a smart card reader active, you should
see a small card reader icon on the next column of the status
bar. When a token is inserted, a smart card appears in the card
reader in the icon. When a key is acquired from the token, a
key symbol appears on top of the card reader icon. Click the smart card reader field to open the PKCS #11 page of the Settings dialog. For more information, see the section PKCS 11. If the smart card reader icon does not appear, see section PKCS 11 Provider for troubleshooting information.
The next field displays the text CAP if your Caps Lock key is currently on.
The last field of the terminal window status bar displays the text NUM if your Num Lock key is currently on.
