I was considering opening an enhancement request to add some missing features to Kate. Specifically, adding a word count feature is what motivated me.

Rather than file an enhancement request for adding a word count feature, I decided to first request a list of Kate scripts that all of you find useful. The key is "find useful" because there probably are hundreds or thousands of scripts floating around the web that could be added to Trinity. A word count script is useful. :)

At this point I don't know whether the scripts should be added as part of tdeaddons or posted someplace at the wiki or web site. We can decide that later. Possibly we can vote and the most popular half-dozen can be added to tdeaddons and the remainder posted to the wiki or web site.

If you use any such scripts, please share the name of the script and a full description. Either attach a copy to your email or post a link to the script.

A full description is important because file names often are cryptic and do not lend well toward understanding the script's purpose.

By the way, I found some word count script candidates:

I have yet to test. :)

Thanks!
