Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Excalibur retirement

Hi Joachim,

Excellent idea !
I have implemented part of your suggestions concerning the default button in the Spelling Panel. Now alternatively the Correct or the Find Next buttons appear in blue and may be triggered by pressing the Return key. The Correct button becomes default when something is inserted programmatically in the word field. This part has been committed to the repository: rev 1472 (https://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/code/1472/).
In order for this to function also when the user types something manually in the word field, I must make some changes in the core. At the moment, the [view] command has no way to handle this. I’ll look into this now.

Eberhard’s suggestions have been implemented yesterday: rev 1471 (https://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/code/1471/). 

I’m looking forward for your proposals regarding spellSchemes in latexSpelling. I know this can been improved. I have built a list of macros (extracted from the LaTeX sources, latex.ltx) which I must now examine. More macros with scheme could be added.

Cheers,
Bernard
