* Description
|
|
This layer provides spell checking capabilities to Spacemacs.
|
|
|
|
** Features:
|
|
- Buffer-wide spell checking via external command (ispell, hunspell, aspell) run through [[http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Manuel.Serrano/flyspell/flyspell.html][Flyspell]].
|
|
- Spell as you type
|
|
- Optional correction popups, controlled by =enable-flyspell-auto-completion= variable.
|
|
- [[https://github.com/nschum/auto-dictionary-mode][Auto dictionary mode]] for some languages.
|
|
|
|
* Install
|
|
** Layer
|
|
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
|
|
add =spell-checking= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
** Spell Checker Configuration
|
|
The built-in Emacs variable that controls which external spell-checking program
|
|
is used is =ispell-program-name=, which can be set in your
|
|
=dotspacemacs/user-init= function if you do not like the default. It will give
|
|
priority to =aspell= if it is installed on your system. Another important
|
|
variable to be aware of is =ispell-dictionary= which will control the default
|
|
dictionary used by =ispell-program-name= (instead of using this variable you can
|
|
also use the key binding ~SPC S d~).
|
|
|
|
** Disabling by default
|
|
By default, =spell-checking= is enabled in all available major modes and may be
|
|
toggled off with ~SPC t S~. You can default this to off by setting the variable
|
|
=spell-checking-enable-by-default= to =nil=:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'((spell-checking :variables spell-checking-enable-by-default nil)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Enabling auto-dictionary-mode
|
|
=auto-dictionary-mode= tries to detect the current language from the buffer
|
|
content, and activate the corresponding dictionary. You can enable it by setting
|
|
the variable =spell-checking-enable-auto-dictionary= to something other than
|
|
=nil=:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'((spell-checking :variables spell-checking-enable-auto-dictionary t)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
Some people encountered bugs with =auto-dictionary-mode=, especially in *daemon
|
|
mode* where new =emacsclient= open directly freezed. If so, no other workaround
|
|
have been found yet than disabling =auto-dictionary-mode= completely.
|
|
|
|
Not all languages are supported by =auto-dictionary-list=. The supported
|
|
languages are listed in the =adict-language-list= variable, that can be checked
|
|
with =spacemacs/describe-variable=. For convenience, here is the list of
|
|
currently supported language:
|
|
|
|
| Language |
|
|
|-------------------|
|
|
| catalan |
|
|
| classical greek |
|
|
| danish |
|
|
| english |
|
|
| esperanto |
|
|
| french |
|
|
| german |
|
|
| hindi |
|
|
| hungarian |
|
|
| modern greek |
|
|
| norwegian bokmål |
|
|
| norwegian nynorsk |
|
|
| portuguese |
|
|
| romanian |
|
|
| slovak |
|
|
| slovene |
|
|
| spanish |
|
|
| swedish |
|
|
|
|
** Enabling multi-dictionary support with hunspell
|
|
If your language is not supported by auto-dictionary feature or you author
|
|
multi-lingual documents you might be compeled to use hunspell's multi-dictionary
|
|
mode. For example to enable it for pl_PL and en_GB dictionaries you could put
|
|
following code in your dotspacemacs/user-config section in your configuration
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(with-eval-after-load "ispell"
|
|
(setq ispell-program-name "hunspell")
|
|
;; ispell-set-spellchecker-params has to be called
|
|
;; before ispell-hunspell-add-multi-dic will work
|
|
(ispell-set-spellchecker-params)
|
|
(ispell-hunspell-add-multi-dic "pl_PL,en_GB")
|
|
(setq ispell-dictionary "pl_PL,en_GB"))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
One caveat is you need quite modern ispell.el for above to work. It's been
|
|
tested with version coming from Emacs 25.2 repository.
|
|
|
|
** Enable auto-completion popup
|
|
To enable auto-completion popup when the point is idle on a misspelled word
|
|
set the layer variable =enable-flyspell-auto-completion= to t:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
|
|
'((spell-checking :variables enable-flyspell-auto-completion t)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
* Key Bindings
|
|
|
|
| Key Binding | Description |
|
|
|-------------+--------------------------|
|
|
| ~SPC S b~ | flyspell whole buffer |
|
|
| ~SPC S c~ | flyspell correct |
|
|
| ~SPC S d~ | change dictionary |
|
|
| ~SPC S n~ | flyspell goto next error |
|
|
| ~SPC t S~ | toggle flyspell |
|
|
|
|
* Known issues
|
|
Vim-empty-lines layer seems incompatible with spell-checking inside org-mode. If
|
|
you experience "Args out of range" error message when invoking ~SPC S c~ inside
|
|
org-mode buffer then check if you don't have vim-empty-lines layer enabled and
|
|
disable it.
