Level 5 PinkElephant 8,780 Posted June 27, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 27, 2021 No, not in the app. I have a little menu bar helper installed called PopClip. It allows a wealth of operations on selected text in all sort of apps - among it word and character count. It is highly customizable to give you the options you want to have whenever you select a text with the mouse. Free trial, costs $12.99, from the Mac AppStore. Link to comment

Wondering the lack of such a basic thing. Is the a plan to add it? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,780 Posted June 27, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Who knows ? You may follow the release notes - EN always tells a bit about „what’s next“. Personally I don’t think a note app needs a counter. Nice to have, but not necessary. Link to comment
Solution Jon/t 1,654 Posted June 27, 2021 Solution Share Posted June 27, 2021 CTRL SHIFT I gives you the note info with word count..... I think Macs have a different button to CTRL that does the same thing. CTRL (or whatever it is) / gives you about a million shortcuts which save me a bunch of time. 1 Link to comment

dbvirago 535 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Would love to have the status bar back. One of my use cases is creating image descriptions with a maximum of 190 characters. I find myself trying to stuff in as much info as possible within the limited space. Having the character count change live as you type was the reason I use EN for that task. 1 Link to comment
