Selection Word Count

This simple VSCode extension calculates and displays the word count of a document and, when there is a selection, the word count and character count of a selection. It displays both in the status bar.

Requirements

This is an adaptation of the word count extension example and https://github.com/cjwit/selection-word-count.
