Jazzy spell checking improvements
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 28 January, 2004 - 15:29
The most common reason for me to not use JEdit when I actually would like to use it is when writing plain human text, like this. When it comes to spell checking I almost always use MS Word. The spell checking features I'm missing are:
(1) Easy switching language. I often write text in both English and my native language and I would like to be able to fast and easy switch the active dictionary with a simple menu. I think this one should be pretty simple to implement!?
(2) I really like the MS Word spell checking when you're writing. Misspelled words are marked with a red underline. If you like to change the word you can do it by the keyboard, or you can right click the word and you get a popup menu with suggestions.
Any chance to get these features implemented in Jazzy (or any other way into JEdit)? This would be one of the most appreciated JEdit feature that I can think of. In my opinion it would greatly improve the hole of JEdit!
(By the way, I had to write this feature request in MS World, not in JEdit Sad.)
I like both JEdit and Jazzy Smiling, see you!
