Description

Word count is very useful and I wonder if it could be possible to display the number of word of selected text.

Could be useful when different paragraphs need different number of words and/or characters :)

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the existing word-count display in the MacDown editor and trace how the current selection is exposed; done means the interface shows the word count for the selected text, including when different paragraphs are selected.
