Feature Request: Live word count for multiple non-contiguous text selections (Ctrl + Select) #20

Description

Description

Currently, when selecting multiple non-contiguous blocks of text using Ctrl + Click & Drag, the status bar's word counter does not update to reflect the total number of words inside the selected fragments. It either shows the count for only one selection or doesn't combine them correctly.

Expected Behavior (Like MS Office)

When a user makes multiple separated text selections holding the Ctrl key, the word count tool in the bottom status bar should dynamically sum up and display the total number of words selected across all active fragments (e.g., "15 of 250 words").

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a document containing several paragraphs.
  2. Select a word or sentence in the first paragraph.
  3. Hold the Ctrl key and select another word or sentence further down in another paragraph.
  4. Look at the "Contagem de palavras" (Word Count) in the bottom-left corner.
