Do you mean that no misspelled word is found and displayed in the spelling panel ?
Are you sure the right dictionary is selected (in the popup menu of the panel or in the Spelling -> Dictionaries submenu) ?

I think both suggestions are feasible. I’ll look into this.

Bernard,

I notice the same behavior (empty spell window) when using aspell.

Aspell is installed in /usr/local/bin/aspell (from homebrew) and from
the command line works on the same file.

Alpha's spell checker works (but I use aspell for many things so I would
like to have one personal directory only if possible (or two ie the
Mac's if I have to)).

I do have two small issues with the spell window:

   1) I would like it to correct the word, if I double click on one of
   the offered choices (and then move to the next unknown word, like it
   does if I click the Correct button)

   2) Once learned, or ignored, I would like it to search for the next
   unknown word.

Is that possible?

[Alphacocoa-devel] Excalibur retirement

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi all,

it appears, after some testing, that the Excalibur application is broken on recent versions of OS X (Sierra and higher). As a consequence, to avoid unnecessary frustrations, I decided to remove the implementation of the spell checking service which was based on Excalibur (the other implementations remain of course). This is not a big deal since now Alpha has its own LaTeX-aware spell checker which performs rather nicely. You may also still use the aspell implementation whose interface has been improved. If you did not try yet Alpha’s spell checker (introduced in Alpha 9.0rc4), have a look at the help page: https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/SpellCheckHelp.html

Alpha’s internal spell checker relies on the spell checking facilities provided by OS X and the Cocoa framework.

I will soon release a new release candidate (9.0rc5) containing these changes.

Cheers,
Bernard

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Alpha Release Candidate 9.0rc5

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

The fix has been committed to the repository (revision 1468: https://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/code/1468/).

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Alpha Release Candidate 9.0rc5

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Geir,

I just checked. There is indeed a problem with the Excalibur service in Alpha 9.0rc4. I have fixed it now.
You can very easily fix manually by opening (inside the ammplication’s bundle) the file
      Alpha.app/Contents/Resources/Libraries/AlphaTcl/Tcl/SystemCode/CorePackages/spellcheck.tcl

On line 152, remove the « -mode Alpha » instruction. T one more specific, lines 148-152 should be like this:

    ::xserv::register "Spellcheck" Excalibur \
      -bund [app::getID Excalibur] \
      -driver {
		excalibur::checkWindow $params(window) $params(xservTarget) $params(from) $params(to)
   } 


Thank you for reporting this issue and sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Bernard

[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #155 A Multi-monitor curiosity

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

Thanks for the report. I'll test on a multi monitors setting as soon as possible. Looking rapidly at the code of the *listpick* command, the dialog should appear on the main screen which, according to Apple's doc, *"refers to the screen containing the window that is currently receiving keyboard events."*  I'll look into this.

I have encountered the following today when working with 2 monitors on the one machine.  Have a latex document open on both monitors but have the focus window on monitor 2.  Now try to insert a equation reference.  Specifically, type \eqref{ into the document on monitor 2, thereby triggering the electric completion.  A list appears in a dialog box on monitor 1.  If I select an element from the list presented  then it gets inserted into the document open on monitor 1.  However, if I drag the dialog box onto monitor 2 before making a selection from the list then the selected reference is inserted in the appropriate place in the document on monitor 2.  I have noticed this before, so it is not new to this version of Alpha, but not for a while, which probably just serendipity.  (I typically work with the source on my left (monitor 1) and the view on my right (monitor 2), but not today for some reason.

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Alpha Release Candidate 9.0rc5

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Geird,

this is weird because I did not change anything with the Excalibur spelling service. I’ll have a look into this.
Can you verify that it is correctly selected: use the menu item Tools -> Spelling -> Select Spelling Service…

Bernard

Thank's for a fantastic program!

I just installed  the Vega-version, but the spell checker doesn't function. It worked perfectly 15 min ago with the previous version of alpha.

I do spelling-> Spellcheck window and nothing happens.

I use Excalibur, and it is there.

Is there something I have overlooked?


Bests, and thank's again, Geir E

When working with 2 monitors the Menu bar is bold on whichever screen that the active window, however, the Status Bar stays firmly on the left-hand window.  This seems an odd choice, especially if the Status Bar is beeing used for prompts and error messages.  Is it possible to have the Status Bar appear on the monitor with the active window?  If not, might that option be added?

If one prints from Alpha then the page margins are pretty wide and, unlike many other apps, there doesn't seem to be any scope to change this.  Is it possible to provide greater control over page margins when printing?

I will illustrate the problem with a simple example.  Start with the better Better Templates feature turned off and in a TeX window do the following:
1. Create an inline equation  displaying the cube of x, say, using first the keystroke combination ctrl-cmd-m (which should produce \( | \) • where the | denotes the cursor, then typing x, shift-6, 3, tab, tab should leave you with \( x^{3} \)|.
2. Turn on the Better Templates feature and then repeat 1.  I get \( x^{3|}• \)•  Subsequent uses of the tab key moves the cursor to a variety of curious places, but never to the next bullet stop.

The problem appears to be related to nested templates.  For example, if, after ctrl-cmd-m I just hit tab, then the cursor moves to the bullet stop outside the environment, as it should.

Thank you for the input. I'll look into this.

I am not surewhat the recommended Diff application is but, for better or worse, I am currently using DiffBOA.  In recent times I have noticed that if I try to compare windows I get error messages telling me that there is a problem setting up the Diff menu.  If I just hit Continue then it seems to get over the problem and carry on correctly.  I can't recall exactly when this started happening, or even if I used to use one of the other Diff apps offered under Alpha>Global Setup>Helper Applications...

Sorry not to have more useful information to offer.

[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #151 DiffBOA

[Chris S. <cs...@us...>]

At the moment, if I try to compare two open windows I get an error saying Diff marks not properly set, offering me the opportunity to either Cancel or Try Again.  (Note that the windowns being compared snap into place as they should and the * Windows Comparison *  window appears as it should.  In this latter window is the following entry:

Process "psn ($0000000000000000$)" not found

If I choose to Try Again then everything seems to work fine.

When working with 2 monitors the Menu bar is bold on whichever screen that the active window, however, the Status Bar stays firmly on the left-hand window.  This seems an odd choice, especially if the Status Bar is beeing used for prompts and error messages.  Is it possible to have the Status Bar appear on the monitor with the active window?  If not, might that option be added?

[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #149 Printing area

[Chris S. <cs...@us...>]

Works like a charm.  Perhaps not quite as elegant as being able to access these parameters from the Printing Panel that appears when one pushes cmd-P, but it does the job.  I am happy for this to be closed now.

[Alphacocoa-devel] text selection bug?

[Tom B. <bu...@ma...>]

Thanks to all who have made and remade Alpha over the years!
I have what I believe is the most recent version of Alpha (Preview Release 9.0rc2 (Vega_rc2) (7600)).

When I single-click and drag the cursor, text will be selected/highlighted character by character. Okay.
When I double-click and drag the cursor, text should be selected/highlighted word by word. But nothing else gets selected other than the word I initially double-clicked. Not what one would expect?

In latex mode, if you double click on delta in 

\delta_n

everything is selected, including the underscore n. The correct would be to have selected only \delta. (Indeed, underscore cannot be be said to be part of any notion of word in tex; it is an operator.)

I have experimented with the definition of TeXmodeVars(wordBreak), but suspect that it may be a core problem. For example, the arrow keys, option-left and option-right, correctly understand that underscore is not part of a word.

(Reported by David Craig on the AlphaUsers list on 2017-11-07)
<<
In Alpha 90.b4, the *Include* menu has disappeared from HTML mode.   It was present in 9.0b3.   I rely quite heavily on Alpha’s includes, so its absence is quite distressing!   I don’t seem to see much about it in the help or release notes.  (In fact, the link to it in the help file seems to be broken.)

Is this a deliberate omission?   If so … help!

(This bug was reported privately by Wulf Fetscher, thanks! I'm entering this ticket for the record and future reference).

Actions:
1. open a file in *TeX* mode
2. in the *LaTeX Menu Options* submenu, modify the layout of the Math Menus (*Expand* or *Compress*)
3. open the *Math Modes* submenu
4. this crashes Alpha

[Alphacocoa-devel] using the print button in the print dialog

[Michael C. <co...@bu...>]

Hitting the return key does not activate the print button in the print 
dialog either on my extended numeric or regular magic keyboard. The 
enter key does activate it. This seems contrary to the usual mac interface.

Thanks,

     Michael
