Spell Checking layer
Description
This layer provides spell checking using Flyspell and auto-dictionary-mode.
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:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((spell-checking :variables spell-checking-enable-by-default nil)))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:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((spell-checking :variables spell-checking-enable-auto-dictionary t)))
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 |
