A very useful thing to add in the status bar, in my opinion, is the time the compilation was made and the wording "Compiled" which disappears if a change is made to the source.
Like the Mikrobasic compiler.

Hi
Been familiarizing myself with GC Studio and one thing I miss is getting to the help for Great Cow Basic in general and by right clicking on a command and it opens in help. Or is there a setting I am missing?

Good ideas.
So, show the 'time' of the compilation within GC Code. Where ? Can you do a screen shot + a pointer to help us understand.
So, this would show 'Compiled @ 13@:30' and when the file is 'dirty' (edited) then remove the ' 'Compiled @ 13@:30' message. Is this what you mean?
I cannot make the changes but I can try to understand the ask. :-)
Yup.
In MIkroBasic the message is written in the line at the bottom of the editor, as in the attached image.
In GCStudio it may appear the same way.
As an example there is an extension called 'Read-Only Indicator'
https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item?itemName=alefragnani.read-only-indicator
This shows that updating of the status bar is possible.
So, as GC Code is an extension then Angel may be added when he gets some time.
I am not the expert.. but, sounds a great idea!
I have added 'Read-Only Indicator' to my GC Code. :-)

I am assuming you meant GC Code. GC Studio is the front end that launches when first started.
See this #short video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9oG1Qytk9Q
Enjoy
