Thanks, Allan. Now to put my money where my mouth is and buy a license.

You can create a command (menu: Command / Edit Commands…).
Set the Command(s): to “wc”, Standard input to “Selected text” and Standard output to “Show as tooltip”.
If you bind a key to this command, you get the “lines words characters” shown for selected text as a tooltip when you press the key -- it's not as convenient as having the information in the status bar all the time, but I hope it'll make do until I add it.
OK, got my license. Thanks!
I hadn't even looked at the command stuff that closely - reminds me a little of TextPad on Windows. This opens up a whole new world of usefulness. I changed your command to:
wc | /usr/bin/awk '{print "lines:", $1, " words:", $2, " chars:", $3}'
That seems to explain the numbers a little better.

Does that work with double-byte or "special" characters ? Last time I tried the character count wasn't accurate for UTF-8 encoded characters or punctuation. Thanks.

Ah, that's true. You could pipe the text through e.g.: “iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1//TRANSLIT” then the character count should be correct.

Works fine with that command. Just remember that the character count includes the spaces, which might or might not be what you want.
