Hi Ray, OK, I just thought of a reason that using the Keyboard Commander shortcut, at least with the Right Option key as a modifier, isn't a good idea for TextEdit word count. I should have thought of this earlier: if you're in a TextEdit window, the Option key combinations are used to generate other character symbols. Option+w is normally the combination to generate the summation sign in Math. There are probably other such combinations. Most of the other key combinations with the Option key in TextEdit have alternate symbols. I'll have to think this one over. How annoying. I can always assign a shortcut without using keyboard commander, but still!!!! Maybe Hai has a suggestion.
