Review

Word wrap toggles word wrap for active file according to settings in Settings » Editor » Word wrap / tab settings
Spell check invokes the spelling checker and checks the complete file or selected text
Read only toggles the read-only state of the active file
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.

Active line

Move up moves active line (including all soft-wrapped portions of the line) up one line
Move down moves active line (including all soft-wrapped portions of the line) down one line
Duplicate inserts a copy of the active line directly beneath the active line
Join joins two or more contiguous lines

Column / block

Column mode toggles column/block mode editing
Insert/fill columns (Only available while Column mode is active)
Opens the "Insert / fill columns" dialog allowing you to enter a text string that will be inserted into every line that is selected, or if no selection into every row starting at the current caret position and proceeding to the last row of the file. 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.
Cut columns (Only available while Column mode is active)
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. If a value of zero '0' is entered, columns will be cut based on the selected text when invoked. This command does put the deleted text on the clipboard.
Delete columns (Only available while Column mode is active)
Opens the "Delete columns" dialog allowing you to specify a number of columns to delete. The columns will be deleted 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. If a value of zero '0' is entered, columns will be cut based on the selected text when invoked. This command does not put the deleted text on the clipboard.
Left justify (Only available while Column mode is active)
Left justifies the text inside the selected columns. Any tabs within the selected range will be converted to the appropriate number of spaces to give the same alignment before the justification. This is necessary as the tab expansion and alignment of text would potentially change after justify the text.
Center justify (Only available while Column mode is active)
Center justifies the text inside the selected columns. Any tabs within the selected range will be converted to the appropriate number of spaces to give the same alignment before the justification. This is necessary as the tab expansion and alignment of text would potentially change after justify the text.
Right justify (Only available while Column mode is active)
Right justifies the text inside the selected columns. Any tabs within the selected range will be converted to the appropriate number of spaces to give the same alignment before the justification. This is necessary as the tab expansion and alignment of text would potentially change after justify the text.
Insert number (Only available while Column mode is active)
specifies number range to insert into each row
Sum selection sums the total of all the numbers that appear in the selected area (columns or lines)
Convert to fixed with converts character delimited file to fixed columns
Convert fixed width to CSV converts fixed columns to character delimited format
