NAME

Padre::Plugin::SpellCheck - Check spelling in Padre, The Perl IDE.

VERSION

version: 1.33

DESCRIPTION

For Padre 0.98

This plug-in allows one to check there spelling within Padre using F7 (standard spelling short-cut across text processors).

One can change the dictionary language used (based upon install languages) in the preferences window via Plug-in Manager. Note that preferences can only be setup while the plugin is disabled. Preferences are persistent. You need to Save your preferred language.

This plug-in is using Text::Aspell default (legacy). You can also use Text::Hunspell, so check these module's pod for more information and install the one for you.

Of course, you need to have the relevant Dictionary binary, dev and dictionary installed.

BUGS and LIMITATIONS

If you upgrade your OS, and run Perl from a local/lib, you may find Hunspell stops showing local dictionary in preferences, you will need to un-install Text::Hunspell and re-install in CPAN.

Spell-checking non-ascii files has bugs: the selection does not match the word boundaries, and as the spell checks moves further in the document, offsets are totally irrelevant. This is a bug in Wx::StyledTextCtrl that has some Unicode problems... So unfortunately, there's nothing that I can do in this plug-in to tackle this bug.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to padre-plugin-spellcheck at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Padre-Plugin-SpellCheck. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
