Hello SharpDevelop-Team,
Please add to the already existing line and column count another counter that gives information about the current selection length.
There's a "ch" counting element, but I can't determine what it is used for, because it's count is equivalent to the column count next to it and is in this fashion redundant. Seems like this element was intended to do the task above, but never got implemented in that fashion.
As an example, if you have the following selected "/// Hält den Namen des Standardsprachpakets.", it would be nice to get the correct character count of a total of 44 characters, counting the German umlauts etc as a single character.
I think this is a basic feature any editor out there has implemented.
Best regards
