依赖于你的设置，你可以用很多按钮来选择工具条或者缎带。当你把鼠标悬停在它们上面的时候，这些按钮都显示了提示来解释各自的功能。
窗口的左边是定位拉杆。它提供了对文件改变的位置的快速可视化引用。这个拉杆有三列。左列引用左边的窗口，右列引用右边的窗口，中间列引用底部窗口(如果存在)。在单窗口模式下，只使用了左列。定位拉杆也可以作为滑杆使用，让所有窗口同时滑动。
当你双击一个单词时，在主界面和定位条中，文档的每个相关单词都会被高亮。再次双击单词以取消高亮。
如果你单击左窗口，或者在一行中单击三次，那么整行都会被选中。
窗口底部是状态条。它显示了他们的和我的添加删除的行数，以及剩余未解决冲突的数量。
状态条也包含文件如何被处理的选项框：
The encoding specifies how the characters in the views are loaded/saved and shown. The most common encoding in English is ASCII (which means the local encoding of the OS language), but you can change this to be UTF8, UTF16LE, UTF16BE, UTF32LE and UTF32BE, both with or without a byte order mark (BOM).
The most common line endings on Windows is CRLF, but you can change the line endings to whatever you like. Note that if you change the line endings, then all line endings in the whole file will change, even if when loaded the line endings were not all the same.
The option at the top of the combo box menu indicates whether tabs or spaces are inserted when you press the tab key. The smart tab char option if enabled uses an algorithm to determine whether one or the other is best used.
The tab size specifies how many space chars are inserted when editing and pressing the tab char, or how many chars the next word is indented when a tab char is encountered.
