;;; flycheck-config --- Syntax/Grammar Check -*- lexical-binding: t; coding: utf-8; -*-
;;  author Craig Jennings <c@cjennings.net>

;;; Commentary:

;; This file configures Flycheck for on-demand syntax and grammar checking.
;; - Flycheck starts automatically only in sh-mode and emacs-lisp-mode

;; - This binds a custom helper (=cj/flycheck-list-errors=) to “C-; ?”
;;   for popping up Flycheck's error list in another window.

;; - It also customizes Checkdoc to suppress only the “sentence-end-double-space”
;;   and “warn-escape” warnings.

;; - It registers a Proselint checker for prose files
;;   (text-mode, markdown-mode, gfm-mode).

;; Note: I do use proselint quite a bit in emails and org-mode files. However, some
;; org-files can be large and running proselint on them will slow Emacs to a crawl.
;; Therefore, hitting "C-; ?" also runs cj/flycheck-prose-on-demand if in an org buffer.

;;
;; The cj/flycheck-prose-on-demand function:
;; - Turns on flycheck for the local buffer
;; - ensures proselint is added
;; - triggers an immediate check
;;
;; Since this is called within cj/flycheck-list-errors, flycheck's error list will still
;; display and the focus transferred to that buffer.

;; OS Dependencies:
;; proselint (in the Arch AUR)

;;; Code:

(defun cj/prose-helpers-on ()
  "Ensure that abbrev, flyspell, and flycheck are all on."
  (interactive)
  (if (not (abbrev-mode))
      (abbrev-mode))
  ;;  (flyspell-on-for-buffer-type)
  (if (not (flycheck-mode))
      (flycheck-mode)))
