The problem is that the correction only happens AFTER you send a message. This means that you don't actually know what message you are sending until it is sent. Horrible. My new patch works AS YOU TYPE with the following rules: * You must be typing, not pasting in text. If you paste in teh and there is a rule to correct teh to the, it won't be corrected. This is because it would be impossible to go back and check all the text. * Check whole words ONLY. Partial words don't count. * If the dictionary word has capital letters in it, match only words with that capitalization. (FPT -> FTP doesn't match ftp.) * If the dictionary word doesn't have capital letters, preserve the capitalization the user used. (The code assumes three possible capitalization schemes: ALLCAPS, lowercase, and Proper.) Unless the solution has capital letters. In that case, force the capitalization used in the solution. * A word may have quote characters in it and still be a word. * If the user immediately hits the backspace key after a correction, undo the correction. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Benjamin Kahn (xkahn) Date: 2005-03-18 16:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=7632 Umm... Regarding the first point: * You must be typing, not pasting in text. If you paste in teh and there is a rule to correct teh to the, it won't be corrected. This is because it would be impossible to go back and check all the text. It is possible for the code to do this, however it purposely does NOT. This is because because pasted text is normally fairly long and may have multiple subtle corrections. This makes it difficult for users to understand what is happening and spot errors. Also, pasted text is often either wrong on purpose (and then he said: "hey d00d!"), or correct already. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Benjamin Kahn (xkahn) Date: 2005-03-18 16:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=7632 Oh! And we'll need some good text replacements. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300235&aid=1166073&group_id=235 |
