I verify that you are correct. Thank you for the explanation of the steps to
get it working and noticed.

Still, I would like to continue to promote my solution, because it's
much simpler and is instantaneous upon key-press. It might also be more
efficient: The help-at-pt solution runs code in all buffers, let's say
every 0.1 seconds, all the time; my solution only runs in the selected
mode(s) buffers but after every key-press, which for an 'average'
touch-typist taking a speed test would be 0.3 seconds.

  1 word/minute = 5 char/min = 0.0833 char/sec = 12.0 sec/char
 40                            3.3333             0.3
120                           10                  0.1
