Character count for SublimeText/WordCount

Question

I'm new to Sublime Text (using ST3) and I've managed to install the SublimeText/WordCount package via Package Control.

https://github.com/SublimeText/WordCount/blob/st3/readme.md lists enable_count_chars as a preference that I can set to 'true'.

But I have no clue how to do that. Yes yes, I've tried googling it, but I'm having no luck finding it and I'm sure someone knows exactly how to do it :)

You just need to select the text that you want to count its words, characters or lines and then read the information shown on the status bar at the bottom.

Select Preferences → Package Settings → Word Count
Select either Settings - Default or Settings - User
In the word-count–settings file that is opened, enter your Word Count settings
Save

On a Mac, you'll need to copy and paste the settings from Settings - Default to Settings - User and edit from there.
