;;; flyspell-and-abbrev.el --- Spell Check Configuration -*- lexical-binding: t; coding: utf-8; -*- ;; author Craig Jennings ;;; Commentary: ;; WORKFLOW: ;; C-' is now my main interface for all spell checking. ;; ;; The workflow is that it finds the nearest misspelled word above where the ;; cursor is, allows for saving or correcting, then stops. You may proceed to ;; the next misspelling by selecting C-' again. ;; ;; Use M-o to get to 'other options', like saving to your personal dictionary. ;; ;; Flyspell will automatically run in a mode appropriate for the buffer type ;; - if it's a programming mode, it will only check comments ;; - if in text mode, it will check everything ;; - otherwise it will turn off. ;; This check happens on every mode switch. ;; ;; If you want flyspell on in another mode (say fundamental mode), or you want ;; to turn it off, you can toggle flyspell's state with 'C-c f' ;; ;; The nicest thing is that each spell correction creates an abbrev. This ;; essentially is a shortcut that expands that same misspelling to the correct ;; spelling the next time it's typed. That idea comes courtesy Artur Malabarba, ;; and it's increased my overall typing speed. ;; ;; Original idea here: ;; http://endlessparentheses.com/ispell-and-abbrev-the-perfect-auto-correct.html ;; ;; The code below is my refactoring of Artur Malabarba's code, and using ;; flyspell rather than ispell. ;; ;; NOTES: ;; ;; FYI, the keybinding typically taken for the flyspell-mode-map "C-;" has ;; been deliberately hijacked in custom-functions.el for my personal-keymap. ;; This is the code run there: ;; (eval-after-load "flyspell" ;; '(define-key flyspell-mode-map (kbd "C-;") nil)) ;;; Code: ;; ----------------------------------- Abbrev ---------------------------------- (use-package abbrev-mode :ensure nil :defer 0.5 :custom (abbrev-file-name (concat user-emacs-directory "assets/abbrev_defs")) :config (abbrev-mode 1)) ;; ---------------------------- Ispell And Flyspell ---------------------------- (use-package ispell :defer .5 :ensure nil ;; built-in :config ;; (setopt ispell-alternate-dictionary ;; (concat user-emacs-directory "assets/english-words.txt")) (setopt text-mode-ispell-word-completion nil) (setopt ispell-alternate-dictionary nil) (setq ispell-dictionary "american") ; better for aspell ;; use aspell rather than ispell (setq ispell-program-name "aspell") ;; aspell is in /usr/local/ on BSD (cond ((eq system-type 'berkeley-unix) (setq ispell-program-name "/usr/local/bin/aspell"))) ;; in aspell "-l" means --list, not --lang (setq ispell-list-command "--list") (setq ispell-extra-args '("--sug-mode=ultra" "-W" "3" "--lang=en_US")) (setq ispell-local-dictionary "en_US") (setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist '(("en_US" "[[:alpha:]]" "[^[:alpha:]]" "['‘’]" t ;; Many other characters ("-d" "en_US") nil utf-8))) ;; personal directory goes with sync'd files (setq ispell-personal-dictionary (concat org-dir "aspell-personal-dictionary")) ;; skip code blocks in org mode (add-to-list 'ispell-skip-region-alist '("^#+BEGIN_SRC" .
