Word count Analyzes the file and reports the number of words, lines and characters (with and without spaces). If a portion of the file is selected, the results are shown for that portion of the file and the complete file. The number of lines determined are real lines terminated with the line terminator. If a line is wrapped in the display, it is not counted as multiple lines.
Character info Opens a dialog showing the decimal value and hexadecimal value of the active byte as well as how this will be displayed (this may vary based on font and script). Along with this the offset of the active byte is displayed in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.

The text string will be inserted into every row at the column position indicated by the caret when invoked. If text does not exist at this column in any row, spaces ' ' will be added to pad the row allowing the text to be inserted in an aligned column.

Opens the "Cut columns" dialog allowing you to specify a number of columns to cut. The columns will be cut from every line that is selected, or if no selection from every row starting at the current caret position and proceeding to the last row of the file.
