DONE 07/16/05 - IDEA: Report the Number of Characters in Highlighted Text

(1/6) > >>

skywalka:
My pet peave is online forms that restrict the number of characters that can B entered in a field but don't report the number of characters U have already entered.

I would like 2 B able 2 select text & have a rightclick option 2 count the number of characters used.

I second that - very useful IMHO.

mouser:
this would be extremely easy to do with a hotkey and tray based tool..
definitely something doable this weekend.

any clipboard apps already have a hotkey to report this?
i'm sure you could make an autoit script to do this, just copy to clipboard and count clipboard characters and report.  any of our autoit experts want to do this, or should somene just whip up a little c++ util for it?

mouser:
ok im working on this now, should have finished coding snack today.

mouser:
ok done.

version 1.00.01 is now available for download on coding snacks download page.

let me know any issues, etc.

like most coding snacks, it doesn't have an installer, you just run it.
double click tray icon to configure the hotkey (default is ctrl+alt+T).

note adding a right-click context menu to count was not feasible, so you have to use hotkey instead.
