Spell-checker for Irssi

=======================



Requirements

~~~~~~~~~~~~



* `Irssi`_ 0.8.12 or newer

* `GNU Aspell`_ with appropriate dictionaries

* Perl module `Text::Aspell`_



.. _Irssi:

   https://irssi.org/

.. _GNU Aspell:

   http://aspell.net/

.. _Text::Aspell:

   https://metacpan.org/dist/Text-Aspell



Description

~~~~~~~~~~~

Works as you type, printing suggestions when Aspell thinks your last

word was misspelled. It also adds suggestions to the list of

tab-completions, so once you know last word is wrong, you can go back

and tab-complete through what Aspell suggests.

Settings

~~~~~~~~



``spellcheck_languages``

   A list of space or comma separated languages to use on certain

   networks/channels.



   For example::



       /SET spellcheck_languages netA/#chan1/en_US,#chan2/fi_FI,netB/!chan3/pl_PL



   will use:



   * ``en_US`` for ``#chan1`` on network ``netA``,

   * ``fi_FI`` for ``#chan2`` on every network,

   * and ``pl_PL`` for ``!chan3`` on network ``netB``.



   You can use ``und`` as language code to disable spellchecking.



   For multilingual channels, you can combine language codes with

   ``+``. For example, ``en+de`` will accept both English and German

   words.



   By default this setting is empty.



``spellcheck_default_language``

   Language to use in empty windows, or when nothing from

   ``spellcheck_languages`` matches.



   The default is ``en_US``.



``spellcheck_enabled`` [``ON``/``OFF``]

   Enable or disable spellchecking globally.



   Sometimes (like when pasting foreign-language text), you don't want

   the script to spit out lots of suggestions, and turning it off for a

   while is the easiest way.



   The default is ``ON``.



``spellcheck_print_suggestions`` [``ON``/``OFF``]

   Enable or disable printing out the spelling suggestions.



   The corrections are still added to the tab completion in case the

   printing is disabled.



   The default is ``ON``.



``spellcheck_word_color``

   Highlight misspelled word to this color.



   The default is ``%R`` (red).



``spellcheck_word_input_color``

   Highlight misspelled words inside the input prompt in this color.



   The default is ``%U`` (underline).



   Available on Irssi 1.2.0 and later.



Corrections in a split window

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As an experimental feature, it is possible to display corrections in a

separate split window:



``spellcheck_window_name``

   Name of the window.



``spellcheck_window_height``

   Height of the window.



   The default is 10.



It's the user's responsibility to create the window::



   /WINDOW NEW SPLIT

   /WINDOW NAME 

   /WINDOW STICK OFF

   /WINDOW HIDE



Commands

~~~~~~~~



``/SPELLCHECK_ADD ...``

   Add word(s) to personal dictionary.



Bugs

~~~~



Known issues:



* Picking actual words from what you type is very kludgy, you may

  occasionally see some leftovers like digits or punctuation

* Works every time you press space or an end mark (``.``, ``!`` or

  ``?``). It won't work for the last word before pressing enter unless

  you're using proper punctuation at the end of your sentences.

* When you press space and realize that the word is wrong, you can't

  tab-complete to the suggestions right away — you need to use backspace

  and then tab-complete. With dot you get an extra space after

  tab-completion.
