Is it possible to show the exact position in Sublime Text 2?
You could make a simple python script to do this.
1.Save this code to your User folder as characterCounter.py (Preferences > Browse Packages > User):
import sublime, sublime_pluginclass PositionListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener): def on_selection_modified(self,view): text = "Position: " sels = view.sel() for s in sels: text += " " + str(s.begin()) if not s.empty(): text += "-" + str(s.end()) + " " view.set_status('exact_pos', text)2.Then restart Sublime Text to have it loaded.
