Many text editors have character / wordcount options on textfields. We have some pages where we prepare things like social media posts and character CVs, and seeing word/character count would help (as these often have a character limit). I would expect this to be a handy feature on the multiline text fields, where it shows the words and characters (or only the words, and characters on hover) while you are typing. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/8/883ed2bb7ba6f00278b5c91848b8f103c45d2e38.jpeg) ---

Might be good to add a “selected text” word count option. Aka if you select a part of the text then it shoes the words/characters in the highlighted text. ---
