Better Word Count

This plugin is the same as the built-in Word Count plugin, except when you select text, it will count the selected word instead of the whole document. I recommend turning off the built-in Word Count because this plugin is designed to replace that. This plugin also has the ability to store statistics about your vault.
Features
- Allows you to store statistics about your vault.
- Works with all languages.
- Can display a variety of different stats. Including:
- Words, Characters, Sentences, Footnotes, and Pandoc Citations in current file.
- Total Words, Characters, Sentences, Footnotes, Pandoc Citations, and Files in vault.
- Words, Characters, Sentences, Footnotes, and Pandoc Citations typed today.
- Highly Customizable status bar that can be adapted to your needs.
