Feature Request - Selection Length

[laek]

Hey guys,

I have a small feature request. Maybe it is possible to implement it in an upcoming release. At my current point I always have to copy a selected text into Notepad++ to find out the length of it. Is it possible to display this length in the status bar of a program window? This would save much time in my current development workflow.

Thanks.

Regards,
Manuel

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. Maybe we can still add this in 15.0.

This has been added for Beta 4. You normally see the cursor position on the status line as line:col. In Beta 4, when you make a selection, it will state line:col [length].
