Description

This layer adds grammar checking using LanguageTool. LanguageTool will use the language set using SPC S d if the spell-checking layer is enabled.

Install

Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add languagetool to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file. You can set the default language by setting langtool-default-language. This value will be used when no custom language has been set using SPC S d:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '((languagetool :variables
                                langtool-default-language "en-GB")))

It's also possible to immediately show the error when jumping to errors with [ a and ] a by setting languagetool-show-error-on-jump:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '((languagetool :variables
                                languagetool-show-error-on-jump t)))

LanguageTool

LanguageTool and JRE 8+ are required to use this layer. You can install LanguageTool using your system's package manager or by extracting the standalone archive found on LanguageTool's website. You can tell the layer where LanguageTool is installed by setting the langtool-language-tool-jar variable to the location of languagetool-commandline.jar or by setting langtool-java-classpath:

  ;; Standalone installation
  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '((languagetool :variables
                                langtool-language-tool-jar "/home/username/languagetool/languagetool-commandline.jar")))

  ;; Classpath (e.g. after installing with `pacman -S languagetool')
  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '((languagetool :variables
                                langtool-java-classpath "/usr/share/languagetool:/usr/share/java/languagetool/*")))
