Description
This plugin is used to provide a suggested total character count for the text in the document.
Added in: release-2025-09 When the unit config is set to an array containing both characters and lines, the plugin displays automatic unit conversion next to the input field (e.g., “~ 125 lines” or “~ 10,000 characters”). The steps value must always be in characters when using this feature.
Default UI
Input: Number input, or slider if steps are defined.
Editor: Difference, Total Characters, Target Range, Characters in Focussed Component
Storage Format
{
characters: <Integer>
}

ui: {
config: {
acceptedCharacterDifference: 20, // Range above and below `value` considered accepted
// optional, allows picking a step instead of entering an exact number
steps: [
{
label: 'S', // use a short one, e.g. "S" "M" "L"
value: 100 // number of characters
},
{
label: 'M',
value: 200
}
],
// optional, allows the input of an exact number besides picking a step
allowAnyNumber: true,
// Define whether the target size is measured in `characters` or `lines`.
// In case of `lines` the lineCountFraction needs to be defined because internally everything is stored in characters.
// Use a string with either 'characters' or 'lines' (Added in: release-2025-07)
// unit: 'characters' (this is the default)
// Or or use an array for unit conversion display: (Added in: release-2025-09)
// unit: ['characters', 'lines']
unit: 'lines',
// optional, Added in: release-2025-07
