Show selection count on editor pane #4

Currently the selection count is visible in the IDE window status bar. Perhaps a better place for it would be next to the column/line indicators on the editor window status bar.

@madskristensen Do you have an ETA for release of either a position switch inside VS settings or actual relocation of the counter? Because I just discovered your very valuable extension, yet was immediately confused why you chose the window status bar instead of the text editor one. Especially since many people probably know the feature from Notepad++ where it's located near chars/lines count, too.

As another suggestion & in accordance with VS's already existing Ch: 42 & Ln: 23 abbreviations, I'd like to suggest that Selection 520 (see @zspitz's image above) gets shortened to Sel: 520 in a future release of your extension.

@madskristensen Any update on this in the near future?
