Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Excalibur retirement

[Joachim K. <ko...@ma...>]

Hi Bernard,

thanks for the new release, and more generally
for all the work you put into this.

It is great Alpha has a spellchecker to take over
from Excalibur -- my favourite Spellchecker for
20 years.

I agree with the two suggestions of Eberhard.

Here is one more suggestion inspired by Excalibur:

At any time, one of the buttons should be a default
button, so that it can be hit with Return.
Following Excalibur, I think that the default button
should be the 'Find Next' button all the time, except
if something changes in the word field (either
because the user writes something manually, or because
the change came from a click in the suggestions field),
in which case the 'Correct' button should be default.

Furthermore, it would be great if the spellchecker
pane could have a few key bindings defined: Cmd-L for
'Learn' and Cmd-I for 'Ignore'.  (And of course Cmd-W
for closing the pane.)

The goal is of course to be able to operate the
spell checker without using the mouse very much :-)

Cheers,
Joachim.

PS: I am experimenting with the latex spellSchemes
array, and will propose some slight adjustments soon.
