Version 0.3 of package Spell-Fu has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Spell-Fu describes itself as: ================================= Fast & light spelling highlighter ================================= More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/spell-fu.html ## Summary: This package checks the spelling of on-screen text. ## Recent NEWS: ########## Change Log ########## - In development - Add support for camel-case word delimiting. - Version 0.4 (2023-01-06) - Rename ``global-spell-fu-mode`` to ``spell-fu-global-mode``, ``global-spell-fu-ignore-buffer`` to ``spell-fu-global-ignore-buffer``. - Add ``spell-fu-debug`` variable, to support debugging why dictionaries are not loading. - Add ``spell-fu-reset`` to re-generate cache. - Fix #31, failure to detect updated personal dictionary when it's a symlink. - Stealthy font locking now checks words even when outside the view, so stealthy font locking ensures words are checked. - Fix #13, failure to properly generate word-list cache on MS-Windows. - Support buffer local word-lists via ``spell-fu-buffer-session-localwords``. - Fix faces of overlays (such as ``hl-line-mode``) no longer mask other faces when selecting words to check. - Support for multiple dictionaries at once. - Reduce idle overlay fragmentation. - Idle timers now update buffers that have lost focus. - Fix for disabling ``spell-fu-mode`` preventing other buffers that have ``spell-fu-mode`` enabled from updating. - Changes to the face are now treated as word separators. This fixes spell checking in situations where characters are escaped for example ``"test\nterm"``, will use the ``\n`` as a divider when escape characters use a different face. - ``global-spell-fu-mode`` no longer enables spell-fu for modes derived from ``special-mode`` such as package list for example (fixes ``#15``). - Support conditionally disabling ``global-spell-fu-mode`` via ``global-spell-fu-ignore-buffer`` & ``global-spell-fu-ignore-modes``. - Version 0.3 (2021-03-28) - Support affix expansion when calling ``aspell`` (some non English dictionaries use this). - Use explicit ``utf-8`` encoding, (fixes issue #8). - Improve default ``spell-fu-word-regexp`` to better differentiate quoted text from apostrophes (fixes issue #3). - Version 0.2 (2020-04-26) - Add support personal dictionary manipulation: ``spell-fu-word-add``, ``spell-fu-word-remove``. - Add support for stepping over errors with: ``spell-fu-goto-next-error``, ``spell-fu-goto-previous-error``. - Add support for checking the whole buffer with: ``spell-fu-buffer``. - Version 0.1 (2020-04-14) Initial release.
