Hi, can someone give me a pointer or hint regarding how to keep a view in
sync with the currently "selected" editor. I.e. I want my view to reflect
some aspect of that editor's input. (As a silly example say display a count
of the number of words in the input).

What I am looking for is an event telling me that an editor is now the
topmost editor.
All help is much apreciated.
