README 

        
When spell correcting, this package forces you to fix your mistakes

   three times to re-write your muscle memory into typing it correctly.



* Motivation



   I used to type 'necessary' wrong... ALL THE TIME.  I misspelled it so

   often that it became part of my muscle memory.  It is one of *THOSE*

   words for me.  There are others, that by muscle or brain memory,

   are "burned in" as a particular pattern.



   This is an attempt to break that pattern, by forcing you to re-type

   your misspelled words 3 times.  This should help overcome any broken

   muscle and brain memory.



* Usage



** Fixing Spelling Mistakes 

   - Step 1 :: Require this file

   - Step 2 :: Use M-$ to check the spelling of your misspelled word

   - Step 3 :: follow the directions of the prompt



** Fixing Spelling Mistakes Automagickally



   If you want, you can customize the

   `fix-muscle-memory-load-problem-words' variable, and that will

   force you to fix the typos when you make them, rather than at

   spell-check time.  Alternatively just call

   `fix-muscle-memory-load-problem-words' with nil and an alist of

   problem words in the format of (("tyop" . "typo")).



   Because this uses abbrev mode, you will need to make sure to enable

   it.



** Helping with Extended commands



  If you find yourself using `execute-extended-command' in place of a

  keybinding, using this will help train you.  The first three

  instances of the same extended command will go through normally.

  The next time however you will be told the key-combo to use and then

  prompted to enter it three times.



  Customize `fix-muscle-memory-enable-extended-command' and you're off

  to the races.



** Getting out

  

  Entering in the wrong answer more than 6 times or so will exit out

  of the loop.  Alternatively C-g (quit) will get you out as well.



** Super Kawaii



  Customize the variable `fix-muscle-memory-use-emoji' to true to use

  cute emoji icons along with text. 



** Easy Setup with use-package

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(use-package 'fix-muscle-memory

  :init

  (setq fix-muscle-memory-use-emoji t)

  :config

  (fix-muscle-memory-load-problem-words 'foo

                                        '(("teh" . "the")

                                          ("comptuer" . "computer")

                                          ("destory" . "destroy")

                                          ("occured" . "occurred")))
