# Chapter 2. Interface

# 2.1. Main window

Some words about an interface. Attention please! Our airplane is safe but a bit unusual. Here is a layout of TEA control elements, from the top to the bottom:

- Window bar (sic!).

- Menu. Behold and explore.

- The toolbar. Hardcoded, non-customizable, but nice and neat. You can turn it off from Preferences > Interface > Show the main toolbar. And I remember my promise to make the configurable toolbars, please wait.

- Text-tabs area.

- Text field called Logmemo destined for the information output.

- Text entry (I call it the Famous text entry) for input of miscellaneous values such as a text for searching, tags for enclosing selections with them, etc. The Execute button directly from the right of the famous text entry doing the same function as pressing Enter in the text entry.

  For example, if you want go to the line 77, just enter 77 into the Famous text entry and press Alt-G. And, if you need to find something, type there some text and press Enter or Ctrl-F.

  The Open button is very useful if you want to open a file quickly. Just paste filename (with a full path) to the Famous text entry and press the Open button. Please note that in that case TEA uses an encoding which selected at Preferences > Encoding > Default charset for File open.

- Statusbar, the nice and wide one. Look at that and have a joy! ;)
