            Bug ID: 408033
           Summary: [Feature request] Show word count for selected words
           Product: calligrawords
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: usability
          Assignee: calligra-words-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: herzensch...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Calligra doesn't show word count dynamically, that is, it doesn't display the
amount of selected words.
It could be shown in the status bar or on the statistics docker.

This is a critical feature for translators, editors and proofreaders, e.g. word
counting is the first step for stipulating the price for a document and its
respective service, and the correct size for certain document elements.

The total number of words in a document is not sufficient for various use-cases
in those fields. For instance, in my use-case, since I work with academic
articles, I need to be able to easily count words in the abstract, and since
references aren't always revised, in such cases I need to select all pertinent
text before the references in order to properly count the total amount of words
according to the service I provide, possibly even including parts of the text
that come after the references as well.
