View word count within proton docs
As a university student i am often working with word limits/minimums. this makes knowing the number of words my entire document, or a specfic part of it, crucial for my use-case. As is, i am often having to use external sites to view the word count. Within google docs you can set the word count to show in the bottom corner and it will relay the entire document or just highlighted sections. this is unobtrusive and works well. This would improve my user experience quite substantially for such a small feature.

I agree with Salish Rose. As a writer and student, I feel like Proton Docs is missing some basic functions that seem small but would drastically improve my experience of the product. Being able to see the word count, being able to see the page number, having smart quotes. These are pretty basic functionality. It doesn't need to be like the level of functionality of Word or Libre Office or Docs, but its missing so many fundamentals that make it impossible for me to use solo as it stands. It sucks because these are all very small features compared to many of the other things on here and it feels like they are being ignored in favor much larger projects.

Adding a word count feature to Proton Docs would be very helpful for writers and students. It would make tracking document length easier and save time when working on assignments, articles, and reports. A simple built-in counter would be a great addition! https://counterclickers.com/

I fear that with having to make a request for each and every individual feature that should be in a standard docs software, Proton is not getting an accurate picture of how critical it is to bring Proton Docs up to basic functionality, as well as up to industry standard. You will not get professionals as clients for Workspace until you have done this. I want to change everything over. I am a business owner, I am a paid member of Proton Business for the past 7 years. But I cannot move fully over until this happens. I know you are going against the tech ability of a giant. But this is really essential. Rather than rolling out a million different products, make each one really, really good before you add others. Don't half-*** each one.

And please let us configure it to always be on, so we do not need to turn on word count manually for each docuement... Thanks!

يتناول هذا الموضوع فكرة إضافة ميزة لعرض عدد الكلمات في Proton Drive، وهي خاصية يمكن أن تكون مفيدة للكتّاب والطلاب والمستخدمين الذين يحتاجون إلى متابعة طول مستنداتهم بسهولة. كما يمكن للمسافرين الاستفادة من نقل الحجاج قطار الحرمين عند التخطيط للتنقل بين المدن المقدسة. https://haramaintrainsa.net/

Word count plays a vital role in shaping the clarity and effectiveness of any written content. Whether you're crafting an article, assignment, or social media post, keeping track of the number of words helps https://probarmicrofono.com/ ensure that your message is concise, well-structured, and suitable for the intended audience. It also allows writers to meet specific guidelines, avoid unnecessary filler, and maintain a natural flow.

This would definitely be useful, especially for people who need quick counts without opening a full document editor. Sometimes a lightweight web-based solution is enough for simple counting tasks. For anyone who just needs a quick counter in the browser, I’ve used this before and found it practical:

Zdravím z Brna! Na sociálních sítích jsem narazil na krátký příspěvek někoho, kdo popisoval svou první zkušenost s bonusovými otočkami. V textu padl odkaz na https://play-jonny.cz/app, a protože jsem měl volnou chvíli, zkusil jsem to také. Začátek byl takový obyčejný, ale když se mi podařilo trefit kombinaci, která otevřela extra hru, byl jsem mile překvapený. Výhra nebyla nijak obří, ale úplně mi to vylepšilo den. Někdy fakt stačí málo, aby člověk měl pocit, že se karta obrací.

Please add Word and Character Count to the functionality with Control-Shift-C!
Either for the entire document or selected text.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
