Hi

Assume there is a error in code,which causes netbeans to show a red cross
in the left side.

Is it possible for netbeans to show the error message in some bottom panel
in the window when the mosue and/or keyboard focus reaches in that section.
[Preferably with the keyboard  focus]

If it can be shown in the footer of the window,then there is no need to
explicitly move the mouse to hover over the region Or on the red cross.
[So i just move to that region using the keys and when keyboard focus
reaches that region,netbeans shows the error message in the footer]

Please consider this. Will be useful.
