Word Count

When editing notes, you can always get the word and character count for the full note by tapping the Ctrl key quickly.

But, if you only need to know how many words a part of your note is, all you have to do is select the text and the word and character count will be shown automatically for the selection.

Useful for editors, journalists, limiting articles, preparing twitter messages etc.
Standard word count
The statusbar will also show the total number of notes you have and the current position (line and column) in your note.

The example note to the right uses a naming convention "zz" for temporary notes
- will be listed at the end of the list
- quick search ("zzb" may be enough)
- will not accidentally become autolinks

Also note that the title is automatically reduced in size as the title is quite long, and the editor window is quite narrow.
