Changing the live coordinate display in QGIS

Question

My coordinate display window in QGIS only shows long lat (minutes and degrees etc.), even though my project CRS is projected.

Does anybody know how to change it so that it displays the projected units? I just want to be able to eyeball the coordinate I am looking at.

See this answer, just donthe conversion the other way round : https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/448448/show-running-lat-long-coordinates-in-status-bar-on-bottom/448452#448452. Otherwise just set your project CRS to the one from your Layer — Kasper, Feb 23 '23 at 06:16

Go to File > Properties > General tab. In Coordinate and Bearing Display, set Display coordinate using to Custom projection Units, and Coordinate CRS to the CRS you want to display.
