I would suggest you create a new issue requesting the status bar count, _if_ such an issue doesn't already exist, as I said elsewhere, it seems reasonable if it can be done sufficiently efficiently.  But nobody will find the suggestion buried in here.

Yes tab indents are an idea from the 1970s and belong back there due to all their problems, please let me persuade you to use spaces for indent, Geany does them just fine and modern systems are not that short of storage :)  (obviously for new code, sadly old code is usually stuck in the past)
