When making a selection, I was wondering if there was some interface point that easily displayed how many characters were selected.
Just for completeness’ sake:
Or yo can press ⇧⌃N [Text Bundle → Statistics for Document / Selection (Word Count)] which does the following behind the scenes:
wc -lwc|tr \ \n|grep '..*'|rev|perl -pe 's/\d{3}(?=.)/$&,/g'| rev|{ for unit in lines words bytes; do read cnt printf "%11.11s %s\n" $cnt $unit done }
So, yes, it is already built in.
