Once Enchant is installed, select it as the spellchecker engine in the LyX preferences menu. Enchant is actually a wrapper. It will pick the first available spellchecker program from a prioritized list that you can customize. I have not customized it on my system. The default list is in the file /usr/share/enchant/enchant.ordering. In my case, the default ordering is myspell, then aspell, then ispell (of which only aspell is installed, so I guess that's what it uses). If you have more than one spellchecker installed, you can give different orderings for different languages. If you find you do not have all the languages you need, you can go back to the Software Manager and search for either "Hunspell" or "Myspell", then install dictionaries from there. I'm not exactly sure how Enchant finds the extra dictionaries, but it does. I have only the English aspell dictionary, but I have a bunch of Hunspell dictionaries (including German) and a few Myspell dictionaries (including Portuguese, though I have no idea why). I just tried typing a German sentence in a new LyX document, which defaulted to English. Enchant flagged every word as misspelled. As soon as I changed the document language to German, every word passed muster. So apparently Enchant was able to find the Hunspell German dictionary. Hope this helps, Paul Thanks, Paul, for all the advices. Enchant is installed. In tools>preferences there is a selection item called Hunspell dictionaries, but clicking on Browse does not open the browser in contrast to all the other Browse boxes above and below it. Could this be due to the fact, that I have not yet made make install, but work with src/lyx for the time being? Wolfgang You've got me there. I never compile LyX, I just use packaged .deb files. On my system, the drop-down list in Preferences for the spellchecker engine contains only one entry (Enchant). Paul

I reinstalled LyX under Linux and want to get its spellchecking capability. Where do I keep the hunspell files (English, German) under linux? in .lyx? It wasn't clear to me from the User guide > All spell-checker dictionaries supported by LyX can be downloaded from here:https://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/hunspell/ There are 2 files for each language. ((To install a dictionary on Windows, copy the 2 files into LyX's installation subfolder ~\Resources\dicts and restart LyX.)) >>With Linux one needs to install the packages for the desired language. The number of these packages vary depending on the Linux distribution, but in most cases these are aspell-xx, hunspell-xx, myspell-xx, etc., where xx is the language code Wolfgang
User dictionary / spellchecker native / MaxOS Sierra / Lyx 2.2
Hi, I use Lyx 2-2 on macOS Sierra with the native spell checker. I would like to share my modifications to the user dictionary on different machines. Is there a way to transfer the user dictionary? If not, is it possible if I use Aspell or Hunspell in the future? Thanks a lot, Ralf

OK, This would be worth the effort. Hopefully I can write such a request clearly enough... Though I'm not sure if you mean incorporate different "preset shortcuts" for these buttons, or to incorporate a method for the user to select the shortcuts they prefer. Those users who would find this most useful would be the ones who, for one reason or another, avoid using the mouse. They, like me, would tend to collect a lot of personal keyboard shortcuts. And it would be nice to know that I could keep the new ones from conflicting with any of the "global" keybindings in my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml... Though admittedly, in my case, if they consist of just {alt}+{almost any single key} I wouldn't have such a conflict because most of my global shortcuts require at least two modifier keys. It also occurs to me that there might be a way to simply cause those spellchecker button's keybindings to preempt the ones in the menu bar while the spellchecker is active. Not being a programmer {aside from bash scripts} I wouldn't know which of those three possible fixes is more practical to implement. Nor am I certain that three different suggested solutions to the SAME problem would require three separate trac tickets?? Also I'd like to think that it would be OK to put all three of the affected spellchecker buttons on the same ticket?? Please tell me that I'm not looking at (3 x 3 = 9) nine trac tickets here... -- Joe Philbrook (:-0%

spellchecker keybindings {Find next, Ignore & aDd} conflict with {File, Insert & Document}
Hi, First let me say I'm addicted to LyX for composing almost anything I care about. It helps keep me from fat fingering multiple spaces between words etc... And lets me set screen font sizes I can see without my reading glasses even when the targeted output font sizes are too small for my eyes WITH the glasses... The list goes on and on... Thanks! However my problem with the spellchecker dialog's keybindings have More to do with my own dexterity issues that have always made using the mouse difficult at best. And with carpel tunnel issues that often make mouse based methods painful. {Don't know why I'm able to keyboard for hours before my hands go numb, but the mouse can do it in just a few minutes. But the result is I'm addicted to keyboard shortcuts and keyboard accessible menu based methods. When I use the spellchecker in LyX and the word I'm looking for is in the sUggestions list I'm very happy cause there is no conflict for the {alt}+{u} shortcut that lets me use the cursor keys to select it and {Enter} to apply the spelling correction. But if I need to tell it to ignore an instance where a character in a story is being quoted as saying something not in the dictionary lists {Think Homer Simpson saying "Doh"} That I may want to Ignore. Or perhaps I wanted to use an unusual word such as hisself instead of himself because it's "In character" for the character being quoted and wish to aDd it to my word list. And while I never use it, the same problem exists for the "Find next" button. Lately my problems with mouse operation have been getting worse: It can take me over a minute to maneuver the "dag nabbed" rodent pointing device over the correct "durned" button... And the button keybindings indicated by the underscored character on the button label (AKA: {alt}+{f}, {alt}+{i} and {alt}+{d}) instead activate the File, Insert or Document menu choices... {sigh} So I was hoping there was a way to selectively change the keybindings on those buttons to something that doesn't conflict with the menu bar bindings. I use the standard user interface with the cua bind file. I've looked in Tools > Preferences > shortcuts and the only spellchecker related shortcut I can find is the {F7} to start the spellchecking function {which I do NOT want to change} Even though more advanced methods {if any} of modifying LyX's keybindings are beyond my understanding, I've looked for clues in Help > LyX Functions, Help > Shortcuts without finding anything that looks like the add word or ignore word spellchecker button functions to me. I also did a less /usr/share/lyx/bind/cua.bind But I didn't see anything that looked like it there either. I probably should mention that I multi-boot three different Linux distros that share the same data partition with whichever version of LyX is in their repos. Only one of them is bleeding edge enough to have lyx 2.2.x The other 2 have LyX 2.1.x. And since one of the reasons I multi-boot is I've been known to to bork an installed Linux so bad that it can take me weeks to get X running again and it's such a pain to remember to lyx2lyx the updated *.lyx back to lyxformat 474 {while hoping I didn't accidentally use some new feature that doesn't convert back cleanly} THEN until either Mageia or Opensuse add LyX 2.2.x to their repos I'll avoid using LyX in my rolling release antiX installation in favor of the LyX 2.1.x installed to my Mageia Linux or my Opensuse Leap Linux installations. Usually Opensuse Leap where it's currently LyX 2.1.5... Is there a reliable way to "push" those buttons with the keyboard I don't know if it matters but a LONG time ago I selected to run the spellchecker in the {docked?} sidebar instead of free floating because I need to actually see the context to for example notice if it's Homer saying "Doh" or an actual typo, and using the mouse to move the floating spellchecker dialog out of the way is even more difficult than getting the {expletive deleted} rodent to point at the button long enough for my hands to click on it...

Re: spellchecker kubuntu 14.04
Here the version: LyX 2.1.3 (2015-02-05) Built on Feb 12 2015, 11:01:23 Configuration Host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: build=release C++ Compiler: g++ (4.8) C++ Compiler LyX flags: C++ Compiler flags: -O2 Linker flags: Linker user flags: Qt 4 Frontend: Qt 4 version: 4.8.6 Packaging: posix LyX binary dir: /usr/local/bin LyX files dir: /usr/local/share/lyx Should I uninstall lyx and install it by compiling the source? Should I use LyX 2.1.4 released. <http://www.lyx.org/News#item1> (July 30, 2015) instead of 2.1.3?

You need to have the aspell development libraries available, or the configure script will leave spellchecking out. I had that problem, as well.

Scott Thanks, David and Scott where would I find the configure log file and is it still available after quite some time after installation? I did load first a lyx file, of course. And I am able to use the spell checker on another machine which uses Linux-Mint (Debian). Should I re-install lyx to make the spell checking work? Could Texlive (I am using 2013) be involved??

It depends on if you kept it. If you do ./autogen and then you do ./configure a file config.log is created. Also, when you do ./configure, you'll see something like: Special build flags: build=development warnings assertions stdlib-debug concept-checks use-enchant use-hunspell That shows that I'm compiling (by default, I didn't change anything) with support for enchant and hunspell.

You could try building without installing (just don't do the 'make install' step). That will allow you to test your build before installing it. You could see then if it has hunspell support. Could Texlive (I am using 2013) be involved?? No. Scott

Hmm. I have essentially the same setup, and it works for me. Now. the spellchecker was greyed out when I did not have a file loaded into LyX, but once I did it became available, and enchant (same version) appears. Maybe there is a problem due to language settings, but other than that we should have the same behavior. Also the same, my configure.log file makes no mention of spell or enchant, so that may not be part of what is configured, although it seems it should be. -- David L.
