Show (Selected item position/Row number) in the Results count

Post by tollyboss »

I would like to modify the statusbar_selected_item_format value such that the status bar would display the current item position (row number) of the focused/selected item when I'm navigating through search results.
My goal is to see something like this in the status bar when a single item is highlighted:
- 1 of 15 results (when the 1st item is focused)
- 14 of 15 results (when the 14th item is focused)

This would help me to track progress and know how many files are left to review when I'm checking through a list of items.
