Desktopeditors: Missing shortcut to quikly check "Word Count"/"Document Info" panel

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Bug

What is the current behavior?
Need to go to "File > Document Info" to see word count and other related stats.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.
No shortcut to check word count.
Like MS Office, Google Docs and other office suites, assign a shortcut to check word count (and selected word count) and other related stats quickly. For example, see Google Docs shortcut of "Ctrl + Shift + C": https://techiestechguide.com/word-count-google-docs/

What is the expected behavior?
"Ctrl + Shift + C" should open "Word Count"/"Document Info" panel.

Which versions of DesktopEditors, and which OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of DesktopEditors?
v5.2.4

Hello, @uncertainquark.
We try to support keyboard shortcuts used in MS Office.
In your editor shortcut
Ctrl + Shift + C are used to copy formatting.

Currently we have no shortcut for opening info about document and created an issue. I created a new issue 40232 in our personal tracker about assigning a shortcut key to quickly view information about a document.
We will discuss this with our team.

Hi @Rita-Bubnova -- has there been any progress on this?

Hi, @uncertainquark, @micah
It's planned to add word count anywhere closer than in doc info. Do you need qiuck access to doc info only because of word count or not?

[uncertainquark]

Need ability to see word count more easily than having to go to the doc into all the time.

[micah]

@Medanna Yes - it would be really good to be able to select a paragraph and get the word count, or character count of that selection. This is what people working on documents that have very specific requirements around word/character count need in order to meet these requirements (for example, grant writing). As it is now, we have to work on a paragraph in a desktop editor to get the count just right, and then paste it into OnlyOffice. Obviously, there is a higher margin of error with this flow, and eats into the benefit of collaborative document editing if I am switching between online and offline versions of the doc.

To add to what @micah said, a quick display of word count for the selected text is also required for writers and journalists, where often we have limits on the number of characters/words in the title/subtitle.

@micah @uncertainquark
thank you. It's already planned, we will make it.

Hi @knightfallx66 This feature has already been designed and is waiting for implementation.
