Launcher Spell checker

This is a plugin for Moksha's Quick Launcher to check the spelling of words using aspell as a backend.

It is a resurrection of the old e17 everything-aspell module with only minor Bodhi specific changes. With enough demand, support and time willing I plan on taking over maintaining this module as it is currently unmaintained but rather cool.

Dependencies

• The usual build tools,libtool, intltool, pkg-config, meson/ninja
• EFL
• Moksha
• aspell
• aspell-en (optional)

Note:

The default aspell dictinary is english (aspell-en). You can, of course, use other dictionaries with this module. However before they are available you need to change the dictionary in the module settings. You must have at least one dictionary installed to use the spell checking functionality.

Usage

First one must load the module. Now assuming one has aspell installed and an aspell dictionary, then usage should be as simple as opening Mokshas Quick Launcher and typing 's ' without the single quote marks. Note: one must type the blank following the s. The prompt will change to a colon and now type a word one wishes to check the spelling of. A list as pictured above will be displayed.

Installation

It is recommended Bodhi users install from Bodhi's repo:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install moksha-module-spellcheck

Note: It will be added to Bodhi's repos soon

Other users need to compile the code:

First install all the needed dependencies. Note this includes not only EFL but the EFL header files. If you have compiled and installed EFL and Moksha from source code this should be no problem.

Then the usual:

meson . build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build

Support This Project

This Module is the first of several Quick Launcher plugins I plan on either restoring to Bodhi Linux or creating myself or with the help of Štefan.

Donations to Bodhi Linux would be greatly appreciate and keep our distro moving along. But if you like the work I do for Bodhi and wish to see more of it, I'd be happy about a donation. You can either donate via PayPall or Liberapay.
