Please add a visible count of selected pages in the Pages panel.

This could be displayed on hover or added to the existing status text - "X pages in Y spread".

This feature would replace the current, less intuitive method of calculating page count via "move pages" for instance.
Potential use-cases:

• Quick calculations of chapter lengths.
• Determining page ranges for specific paper types, e.g., those requiring division into 16 pages.

Please consider adding this feature to improve InDesign's functionality.

I provided a very quick mockup for how this could be shown.

Thank you.
