#word-count#regex

The Custom Selected Word Count plugin adds precise and flexible word counting for selected text across all editing modes. It goes far beyond the default functionality by allowing users to exclude specific file paths, file types, and even URL-like strings from counts. Advanced users can define their own regex patterns for detecting words, with an interactive test area to validate and refine these patterns. It also logs word count history with timestamps, making it useful for writing sessions or progress tracking. The detailed settings give fine control over behaviour, from path exclusion rules to UI preferences, making it highly customisable for both casual users and power users alike.
