@peterleinchen,
The funny thing is the uber-unlike Jolla engineers have actually put something uber-useful there: the current time. It even updates as you type. I lazily reused the same update mechanism, only had it print different info. So you may experience some lag between typing and the count updating.

I can count the number of times I needed the time while typing an SMS on one finger.

@Ancelad,
Sorry, it will not happen again
