Replying to [comment:1 axeld]:
> I think siarzhuk added this as part of a GCI, maybe he has a good
argument for letting it in there? Or can explain what that triangle is
about, at least.
This cell is about the opened file encoding. Unfortunately in russian-
speaking countries we still have to deal with lot of files in cp1251,
koi8-r and cp866 encoding. So we really need to have this information in
sight and have possibility to switch the encoding on the fly - just to
select correct encoding in case auto-detection had wrong assumption during
opening the file.
From the other side, you are right, for most cases this info is
superfluous - so this cell should be shown only in case non-UTF-8
encoding.
The "triangle" - is just an attempt to mark that there popup menu in this
field. The menu idea comes from some of our users - just an attempt to
simplify the encoding change but is, obviously, not perfect. ;-) IMO the
shortcuts pair for iteration through list of encoding do the work more
seamlessly. But the problem is to select good shortcuts for this.
