hi, experimenting with textmarker, liking it so far.

I'm trying to use it to highlight text that I will use in my podcast (I translate English net articles into Japanese: www.tensaimon.com ),

what I would find really useful would be a word-count of the total highlights on a page - that way I would be able to judge how long my episode is going to be (to make a 30min episode is approx 250 highlighted words).

alternatively (or additionally) the ability to "copy all highlighted text" would help as i could post it into a word doc to use the word count feature (this is a bit roundabout for my purposes, but I suspect might be a generally useful feature).

EDIT: just found this in the "history" section: "save to text file" - a bit roundabout , works but a word count display would be a huge workflow help...

EDIT#2: it works, one additional thing I'm finding is that a keyboard shortcut to "delete (selected) highlight" would be really useful for my editing process (basically: I'm cutting highlights to get down to around 250 words to make a half-hour episode)

EDIT#3: oops, ok found I can set that keyboard shortcut in "settings>shortcuts" - leaving this here in case anyone else finds it useful!

EDIT#4: downloading the text of the highlights to post on my blog post for my episode worked but the order appears to be the order they were highlighted in, which (due to the above editing process) wasn't the order of the article - the ability to arrange the highlights in the order of the article (so that the highlighted text scans well as a text in itself) would be super-useful too

thanks for developing this, finding it pretty useful so far!
