Wording Status

Description

Provides a real-time word and character count in the status-bar for Sublime Text. See: http://www.sublimetext.com/

Count words and/or characters on document or in selections. By default, whitespace is not included in the character count.

The minimal word length is 1 and does not count digits.

An estimated reading time is now appended to the end of the word count.

1. Download & Install Sublime Text 3 (https://www.sublimetext.com/3)

3. Now, Go to the menu Preferences -> Package Control
4. Type Add Channel on the opened quick panel and press Enter
5. Then, input the following address and press Enter

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json
   

6. Go to the menu Tools -> Command Palette... (Ctrl+Shift+P)
7. Type Preferences: Package Control Settings – User on the opened quick panel and press Enter
8. Then, find the following setting on your Package Control.sublime-settings file:

   "channels":
   [
       "https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json",
       "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json",
   ],

9. And, change it to the following, i.e., put the https://raw.githubusercontent... line as first:

   "channels":
   [
       "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json",
       "https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json",
