Re: "Spell checker has no dictionaries"
I just installed 4 or 5 spellchecker dictionaries using the standard sudu apt-get install command in Ubuntu. Of course, I installed the hunspell-en-ca dictionary that spells things like colour correctly On Tuesday, October 23, 2018, 2:12:49 p.m. EDT, Paul A.

I forget what distro you use, but if has a package manager I would start there. Sure enough, SlackBuilds.org has an English language package which provides five dictionaries of English usage - Australian, Canadian, United States, and two forms of British English. As the package maintainer explains, "he reason I've included two forms of British English dictionaries are: "1. The -ise suffix is more commonly used by British speakers and all other forms such as en_DK, en_IE, en_IN, etc are symbolic links to en_GB-ise. "2. the en_GB-ize/en_GB-oxendict which uses the -ize suffix is known as Oxford English Dictionary Spelling and is generally favored for academic, formal, and technical writing." I modified the build script to limit it to US_en as that's the only flavor I speak/write. Thanks for the pointer, Rich

Re: spell checker
Just tried it and it seems that it will only correct one word in one cell. However if one is spell checking regular text above and below the table it will a) check the text above and below the text but only correct one word in one cell of the table. If this is a feature and not a bug, it seems a very unusual feature On 6 April 2017 at 16:58, Patrick Dupre wrote: > Hello, > > When I run the spell checker in a Table, As soon as there is a correction > to do, the spell checker leaves the table.

The default on OSX is the native spell checker service of Apple. AFAIK it’s internally some hunspell-based spell checker engine. But, by using the OSX based service the learned words are not application specific. If a word was learned it’s possible to „unlearn“ it again with right mouse button menu.

Re: LyX Spell Checker Sanity Check
Joel, 'baed' did appear in the Urban Dictionary a few years ago. It was explained as the mis-pronunication of the word 'bad'. Surprised that it seems be in a spell-checker. Gordon.
LyX Spell Checker Sanity Check
Colleagues, Does anyone know what "baed" means? With all lower case, I cannot find any reasonable definition. However, the spell checker (dialog and interactive) in LyX doesn't flag it as misspelled (though it's a case of me wanting to type "based"). I am using LyX 2.2.2 on OS X 10.11.6 with the as-distributed spell checker. Is different behavior observed on other OSs and/or spell checkers? Thanks, Joel

Hi Fabio, It was incorrect for me to say that you have to explicitly enable the spellchecking libraries.

Problem with spell checker
Hello everyone I'm having a problem with the spell-checker. I'm running a computer with CentOS 6.5 installed, and I installed Lyx 2.1. However when I go in the settings, the spell-checker option is greyed out and cannot be activated. The strange thing is that not only a spell-checker was already installed (hunspell from LibreOffice), but I also attempted reinstalling after updating hunspell to the latest version with all the available dictionaries installed. Anyone else had this problem? Many thanks

Spell checker: Per document ignore list
Hi, Is there a way to create a per document list of words to ignore? When working on a paper in a certain subject there are common related terms which are labels as typos. Using "ignore all" is annoying, as it have to be repeated for every such term each time I re-open the document. Adding the terms to the global ignore-list is not perfect either, as in other occasions I would like those terms flagged. Is there a good way to so? Thanks, Guy

Hi, I'm not able to use the spell checker for Spanish. I'm using LyX 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10. I installed the Spanish language through Ubuntu's Language Support and changed the language to Spanish in the document-settings in LyX. The Spanish entry in the drop-down menu appears checked but when I select it it immediately changes back to English. I also have German language support and I don't have this problem with it.Spell checking works fine in LibreOffice Writer. Thanks in advance.

I found it easier to use the feature where the words unknown to the
spellchecker are underlined in the text in red, since in my case there are
many scientific names or dash-combined names.
Sorry, I cannot reproduce the "2-manifold" problem. For the quotes it makes
a difference how I've entered the quotation marks. (See the screenshot below.)
The first one are real quotes. The second simple quote key strokes.
The suggestion would be to use "Insert->Special Character->Single Quote" or the
short cut given there.
It depends on how the "2" is entered, and I did not make that clear. I
usually write things like n-manifold ("n" being the dimension), but the
n is in math-mode (which is the proper way). I am so much in that habit
that I enter the 2 in math-mode as well.

Spell checker not working in lyx 2.0.2
Hello, I have installed latest version of lyx 2.0.2. There is one problem spell checker is not working and even when click on spell check button it gives a message that "We reached at the end of the document,..". And the same is with "Thesaurus", it gives a message that "no thesaurus available for this language" It is using "Hunspell" engine. After googling i found that it is missing the dictionaries. But i saw there is a folder "Dict" in lyx installation folder which contains the dictionaries. Please guide me how i can fix this problem even i installed lyx several times but the problem is still there. If dictionaries are missing where i should put the dictionaries? Thanks in advance.

I Noticed a fringe benefit to doing it this way BTW...
One of my pet peeves about the new spell checker is that the sidebar
doesn't go away when I escape out of it AND there doesn't seem to be a way
to assign a keyboard shortcut to the act of dismissing it.
{I strongly dislike having to use my sometimes non-existent mouse pointer
coordination to position the durned pointer on that tiny little "x" long
enough to click on it...}
Well that fringe benefit is that since the garbage .lyx file ONLY contains
the text I actually want to spellcheck, I start spellchecking by first
pressing + Then so when it gets to the end of the garbage
file the spellchecker knows it just checked the whole file. (Assuming I
didn't have to interrupt it in mid process) and then when it reaches the end
of the file that durned sidebar automatically goes away.
{You know the one. I'm talking about the sidebar that in my humble opinion
should go away by itself every time spell checking is ed out of... So
that by it's very presence on screen I could know that the enter key would
"push" the currently selected sidebar button rather than replacing the
hi-lighted word with a new paragraph...}

I don't think I want to add the complexity of defining any part of my doc an non-English... Because while there are parts of my document where I need to be thinking about whatever fictional words and or non-standard names that I don't want to add to the wordlist when I spellcheck it. When/if something makes me rewrite something in one of those sections I'll still want to use spellcheck to screen it for my all to frequent (and sometimes nearly dyslexic) typos. I just don't want to do this by mistake when I'm not thinking about it. Hence I always depended on spell checking in a forward linear process starting from the cursor position and ending when/if I close the spell checker without correcting a flagged word such as whatever GarRRbae word I'm using as a marker that day. But I'm getting used to the previously mentioned kludge involving pasting the selected section of my document into an empty document and checking it there. It's not really any harder than it used to be to insert the marker lines... So you see, this is already a non-issue for me.

OK let me be a little more specific...
I checked ~/.lyx/pwl_english.dict to makes sure that I hadn't previously
added the "gabaggge" word to the word list by mistake. But the fact
that I positioned the cursor AFTER the "gabaggge" word before pressing
F7 And that somehow the spellchecker did skip back to a cursor position in
a chapter that I hadn't even looked at in months without first checking all
the errors that were there between the cursor position where I had pressed
F7 and the 2nd marker line with the 2nd instance in whole document of the
"gabaggge" word which it NEVER reached because when I realized I was
correcting deliberate misspelling in the earlier text I aborted
spellchecking without it ever actually finding either instance of the
"gabaggge" word. Which means that I never clicked on ANY spellchecker
button (ignore, ignore all, or any other) with the "gabaggge" word in
the spellchecker's crosshairs...

Agreed. But since I hadn't scrolled back to the previous chapters, "I"
didn't change the cursor position to them.
The only times I intervened in the cursor position was when I wasn't sure if
a suggested word was actually the word I intended or had some other meaning. in
which case I would hit escape to stop the spellchecker, use ^X to cut the
questionable word to the clipboard, switch to the desktop area where I had a
browser open to an on-line dictionary. Paste the word and edit until the
dictionary liked the spelling AND presented me with the intended definition.
At which point I would mark the corrected word and copy it to the clipboard,
change back to the desktop area where my LyX window was, then I'd paste the
corrected word into my document. Then to ensure the opportunity to add that
word to LyX's word list if needed, I'd move the cursor up just one line and
press F7 again...

Yeah it should be. And that is my whole point. For some reason it isn't.
The only time I change the cursor position of a LyX document while I'm
spellchecking is as I described above.
But, like I said before, this problem doesn't happen every time I
spellcheck, so I can't reliably reproduce it for a bug report.
And since the workaround of cutting the section of text to the clipboard,
And then pasting it into an otherwise empty .lyx file, does get me a way
to reliably spellcheck the text.
And until such a time as http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/2511 becomes a
reality, I think I'll just use that kludge I just described.

"Ignore All" adds the word to the non-persistent list of accepted words for
the current session. It doesn't add the word to your personal dictionary.
And I think it should stop at the second word "gabaggge" in any case
except when you did ignore it for the current session.

The spell checker always starts at the current cursor position, IMHO.
When the cursor is moved to another part of your text the subsequent F7
should start over there.

It should be reliable unless you move to current cursor position manually.

Yeah, but it never got to the end of the document. At some point during the
spellcheck initiated between two "gabaggge" word markers {the cursor
was actually on the first character of the first line after the "gabaggge"
marker line when I pressed F7 and began spellchecking. The starting
position was several chapters deep in the "book" I'm writing. It had not yet
found all of the many fat fingered typos that existed in the text between
the "gabaggge" word markers when I noticed some distinctive text that
only occurs in the first few chapters of the book...
> And no there is no way to spell check some selection of text only.
> But there is an enhancement request already:

Except that it always used to check in a linear fashion that allowed me to
be sure that each questionable word would always be further from the
beginning of the document than the last until and unless I confirmed that it
could continue checking from the beginning... Unfortunately this behavior
is no longer reliable.
I note when I used the kludge I described in my 2nd posting to this thread
there were still so many typos in the text I'd tried to spellcheck that
when I pasted it into an empty document that didn't have any previous text
for the spell checker to skip back to, it took over an hour to make the
remaining corrections...
I don't know why the spell checker skips back. it doesn't happen every
time. But it has happened more than once on more then one Linux
installation, where LyX 2.0 was installed by the distro specific package
manager. This was the first time it happened on my recently installed Sabayon
Linux. I can't however, say for sure whether the other occasions were on
PCLinuxOS or Arch Linux since both of them have LyX 2...

spell checker does not detect the word "gabaggge" as misspelled and wraps

While waiting in hopes of a better method, I figured out a very crude down
and dirty work around...
First, as previously described, I wrap the section of the document I intend to
spellcheck with the the begin and end marker lines. {with or without the
deliberately misspelled garbage word} But it MUST stand out visually.
Then I open a garbage .lyx file and delete any existing content. Then I
switch back to the real file and mark & cut everything in between the
marker lines. Next I paste that into the garbage file and spellcheck that
file. When the spell checking is complete I can mark & cut the contents the
return to the real file, and paste the spellchecked content in between the
marker lines...
This at least works. But I shouldn't have to do it this way.

LyX 2: spell checker skips around whole document ARrrgGgaAaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Hello. I'm a multi-boot, multi-Linux user. I chose LyX for a personal
writing project some time ago. And for the most part I've been happy with
that choice. But the spell checker in LyX2 is making me wish I knew how to
cleanly export my documents to LibreOffice.
Now I'm not even talking about the horrible way the new spellchecker
responds to keyboard control. {Though some of it's shortcut keys conflict with
the ones in the pull down menu. & There doesn't appear to be a way to get
rid of it's sidebar when your done spellchecking without maneuvering the
mouse pointer to, and clicking on the little x icon} As much as I despise
that behavior it's nothing compared to the what it jumps around.
I have at times deliberately introduced non-words into my documents that I
don't want to permanently add to the dictionary. Sometimes it has to do
with quoting a character who doesn't spell (or speak) proper English.
Picture a big cartoon like character rubbing his head where somebody he
thought was a friend just broke a barstool over his head and the big guy turns
to his friend and says: "Ya shoodna awda dun that Bobby!"
Now if that were actually part of my "story", say in chapter 3, I'd have taken
care to spell check that part of the document while I was thinking about it so
that I would remember to use the ignore button... I always used to do this
by wrapping the part I wanted to spellcheck with lines like:
Spellcheck section begin gabaggge marker line
Spellcheck section end gabaggge marker line
Then I'd position the cursor someplace after the non-word "gabaggge" on
the first marker and press F7... Then as long as I remembered to stop
spellchecking when it reached the 2nd instance of gabaggge, I'd be
fine.
Well that doesn't work anymore. I might wrap chapter 10 in those
gabaggge lines and start spell checking chapter 10 only to suddenly
discover that all by itself the spellchecker decided to jump back to some
questionable word in chapter 3... Even this wouldn't be so bad
except that many of the intentional non-words are a little less obvious
than the above fictional example. And in fact I'm not sure how many of them
I accidentally corrected before I noticed something distinctive that
couldn't have been in the section I thought I was spell checking.
IS there a method to restrict the spellchecker to a limited range of the
document and/or to only check in a top to bottom in-line path that doesn't
skip around the document???
I really hope there is, because if there isn't I'm going to have to risk
damaging the .lyx file by using the command line version of Aspell on it...
Because I can't work with a spell checker that won't work where I tell it
to.

You need to recompile, not install Lyx. I guess that Lyx found in the repository is compiled without aspell support. This is why you need to compile it as directed in the link provided.

That's something I know I wouldn't learn to like. Not only do my fingers
quickly go numb when I start using the mouse a lot, But I sometimes have
difficulty controlling it accurately. I do a little better with my trackball
than a traditional mouse but as a control interface it still gives me much
aggravation.
Aside from which I would NOT want full time spellchecking. Anything that
instantly tells me a word is misspelled (even those stupid squiggly
underlines like they use in some word processors and web browsers, are
enough to make me lose track of the creative thought process when I'm
typing new content...

Now that's the ticket. But to avoid the conflict with Documents, the Add
button would have to either need to use a character NOT in it's label or
give it the Alt+A shortcut, which would mean the "Replace All" button
couldn't use the "A" anymore. And so on... A better solution would be
perhaps to force the focus to switch to the spell checker window when F7 is
pressed, and keep it there until (the escape key is pressed, the spell
checker window is closed, or a mouse click is made within the main window.

Could you tell me how to add one to close the spellchecker. The sidebar
doesn't disappear upon the escape key any more. And while I can't remember
if undocking it so that it's once again a floating box that hides part of
the context goes away upon the esc key. But I surely noticed that undocking
it from being a sidebar stops the questionable words from getting
highlighted...

I see these phenomena as well (I use gnome, but it seems that this is an issue about LyX that is independent of the window-manager). If you just right-click on the misspelled word when using continuous spellchecking (something I thought I would never do, but I do like it now), you do not get those keyboard shortcuts at all.

LyX 2.0.0 spell checker {KBD shortcut(s)}
Has anybody else experienced these keyboard shortcut issues with the
spellchecker sidebar on LyX 2.0???
Especially any one NOT using the binary found in the PCLinuxOS repository?
If it matters: I'm a ‘multi-boot’, ‘multi-Linux Distro’ user. And
I use whichever version of LyX is available from the repository of
whichever Linux system I'm currently using. I may be a bit too dependent on
the various package management systems on my installed distros but most of
the time this saves me a lot of dependency headaches.
At the moment the only one of my installed Linux that normal system
upgrades resulted in LyX 2.0.0 (April 29 2011) is my PCLinuxOS
installation. Thus I have no other LyX 2.0 to use to see if the keyboard
shortcut issues I've encountered are inherent in LyX 2.0.0, or {I do hope}
perhaps they stem from some modifications made by the PCLinuxOS package
maintainers.
I asked about these issues earlier and got some suggestions, but nobody
said that their LyX 2.0 had the same problem. Since most people nowadays
are more comfortable with using the mouse as a primary control interface,
it is quite possible that more LyX 2.0 users have these keyboard shortcut
issues than are aware of it. (simply because they "click" on the buttons
rather than typing in the keyboard shortcuts.)
The shortcut issues I'm having are:
1) The Alt+D on the "Add" button conflicts with the "Document" pull down menu.
To
actually add the word to the word list I MUST click on the button with the
mouse.
2) The Alt+I on the "Ignore" button conflicts with the "Insert" pull down menu.
Again I MUST click...
3) The Alt+F on the "Find next" button conflicts with the "File" pull down menu.
Again I MUST click...
3) There does not appear to be any way to use the keyboard to dismiss the
sidebars so that the document text can use the entire window/screen width.
To ditch the sidebar I MUST click on the little "x" marked button in the
upper right hand corner.
Note: I can disengage the sidebars focus with escape and edit the
document using only the approximately 2/3's of the screen/window width.
But I can't make the sidebar go away with the keyboard.
And I note: that this is so regardless of whether or not I've selected
the "Spellcheck Continuously" setting...
If anyone is experiencing symptoms like that with their copy of LyX...
Please tell me!

But until you told me that "personal word list" was located in ~/.lyx/ I wasn't even sure that aspell itself wasn't doing this. And since by the time my script starts LyX, the only aspell dictionary files involved are in their traditional location, I believed that mentioning the script at that point in the discussion might confuse the issue. And yes I thought it was a creative solution that's based on the fact that my ~/com directory (like my ~/mail directory) is actually a symlink to a directory on a personal data drive that gets mounted in the same place regardless of which of 4 currently installed Linux distros I boot.

But this is not done already. Ah, so then if I modified my script to also swap out the pwl_english.dict file I'd be asking for it. At least I presume that either the format of the pwl_english.dict file will get more complex or there will be perhaps a proliferation of PWL files each named after the document involved... Fortunately once the PWLs become document based, I won't need to. Is that plan likely to be implemented any time soon? I mean I'd hate to bother modifying my script only to find that the PWL file(s) became more complex the very next week... May I suggest that when the choice to add words to the local document's word list or the multi-document global one is implemented, it would be a good thing to also add an "export to aspell" choice that also provides an “are you sure?” warning that advises the average user that no provision is made to automatically remove words from aspell's native word list. -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P |~\___/~ <>#! /bin/bash echo echo " you are about to spin of a lyx session and then use the current" echo "konsole to open mc in the lyxSTUFF directory..." echo echo "Note: if you are not in a konsole or if you are already running" echo " mc in it (hint use ^O to verify) then you should abort..." echo echo " press enter to continue" echo " -or-" echo " use ^c to abort" echo read dummy # Note since running stg, will now enable storyline copy of spellcheck # wordlists... # test if can filter copy by greping for BranchCritter g

Sorry, I don't understand. You've asked where LyX stores the personal word list... and I gave you the answer. Where did you mention your script before? All of your doing sounds very "creative" or at least not so common. You may ask why LyX maintains a private personal word list. It's because there is no interface for aspell to remove a word from its personal dictionary. And the author of it refused to consider to add one. For the average user it's not acceptable to search and edit the personal dictionary file, IMHO. To make your workflow possible LyX's personal word list management needs to be changed.

OK Now I think I understand you mean that sometimes LyX crashes while
relocating the sidebar rather than frequent crashes just using the
relocated sidebar... Perhaps I will try that then.
NOTE: I just booted into my PCLinuxOS installation where the LyX 2.0.0 is
installed to test this {& the shortcuts below of course} And I'm not
sure I'm doing this right... But the only method I found to move
this was to click on a small button labeled with a circular symbol
{perhaps an "o"} that's next to the little "x" marked button that
would close it. This appears to undock and redock the sidebar so
that it's more like the old pop-up that liked to hide the context.
Once ‘undocked’ I can drag it around and/or re-size it with the mouse.
But when I attempt to use it in the undocked state it not only
tends to hide the context of the word in question, But on the main
text window the suspect word doesn't even get hi-lighted like it does
when this spellchecker is ‘docked’ as a sidebar. So moving it does
little to help me spot the context I need to review...

Well That I will try... If it works it will go a long way to making me
comfortable with the new spellchecker interface.
Unfortunately this didn't work. The Ctrl+Shift+F shortcut calls up another
sidebar with some find sidebar. And Alt-x is a toggle for a command line box
of some kind. At least that's what it does when the spellchecker sidebar
doesn't have the focus... Funny how the spellchecker can stop Alt-x from
calling up said command input box. But it doesn't stop the ‘File’, ‘Insert’,
and ‘Document’ pull down menus from messing with the ‘Find Next’, ‘Ignore’, &
‘Add’ buttons???
Since to me the mouse in an uncomfortable, non-intuitive, & sometimes
problematical control interface I really detest having to resort to it every
time I need to ADD, or IGNORE a word. Not to mention close the spell checker
dialog... At least I don't have much use for the ‘Find Next’ button or I'm
sure that shortcut conflict would bother me as well.
Thanks anyway...
Gosh! I surely do hope these shortcut problems are due to some modification
made only in the version of 2.0.0 found in the PCLinuxOS repository. Please
tell me that's the problem. Cause once v2.0.0 trickles it's way through Arch
Linux and Ubuntu, I won''t have a lot of choice about upgrading to it...

It's named e.g. pwl_english.dict. OK, whether or not my keyboard shortcut issues are resolved (or limited to the version that may have been modified by the PCLinuxOS maintainers) I'm going to need to understand this... You see I have this shell script that swaps out aspell's dictionary files «.aspell.en.prepl & .aspell.en.pws» For special copies of them from my personal data partition just before opening the LyX files of a sci-fi story I've been working on... This serves two purposes: 1) It makes the same "storyline" fictional words available to aspell during the editing of this sci-fi story no matter which Linux I've booted. 2) Because that script sits there in it's open terminal window waiting for me to tell it I'm done so that it can swap the dictionary files back, this also prevents aspell from accidentally accepting one of these fictional words when I'm writing something else... So If I understand what's happening, LyX 2.0.0's implementation of aspell looks in aspell's own dictionary files, but only adds words to it's own special ~/.lyx/pwl_english.dict file where they will not be available for aspell to use outside of the LyX environment??? ¿¿¿Is there any reason why I can't simply modify the above script to also swap out copies of that file so that LyX would only find fictional words it added to the pwl_english.dict file during the editing of this sci-fi story would be while spell checking this sci-fi story???

To remove that word you can use LyX. In case you are using you have the option to remove it with the context menu. I know that you don't use it and now I can see the need for an interface to remove a previously added word somewhere in the ordinary spellchecker dialog... Currently you have to remove it from the file located inside your home directory below the .lyx folder. It's named e.g. pwl_english.dict. Stephan

[shudder] I double checked and that option wasn't checked. So I tried checking it and *saving the changes. No change in behavior. Then I set it back to unchecked and again *saves the changes. Still no change... Thanks anyway! *NOTE: while I can ‘select’ the ‘save’ button in tools-preferences with ‘+S’ (it gets a little blue outline) but the preference dialog doesn't close and the button gives no visual reference of being pressed. Unlike the way ‘+A’ makes the Apply button get animated to appear momentarily depressed. (So if I want to save changes I'm once again stuck with the durned rodent.) If this isn't supposed to be forced on everybody, then maybe this is a problem with the binary in the PCLinuxOS repository I hope so because if the LyX in my other Linux installations starts acting like this I'm gonna cry for real... I've also notices another oddness. according to those Spellchecker preferences I do still have aspell selected as my spellchecker. but when (as I mentioned in my previous post) I couldn't get the spell checker to recognize “Avant-garde” as a word even after clicking on the add button I tested the add function with a repeated ridiculous spelling of “pulleese” And upon "adding the first instance by clicking on the add button the spell checker skipped the second. And when I returned to LyX on my PCLinuxOS installation to test the checkbox I started the spell checker at the same place and it still skips over “pulleese”. Even though I opened ~/.aspell.en.pws with vim and searched for “pulleese” so I could delete it from the dictionary. But all it got me was: “E486: Pattern not found: pulleese” IF it's using aspell, ¿where else could it be hiding the added word? I wouldn't have added that silly thing if I didn't think I could remove it... -- |^^^ ^^^ | Joe (theWordy) Philbrook |^ J(tWdy)P | ___ <> | ' `

LyX 2.0.0 spell checker & user interface Eeeeeek!
Hello, I'm mostly interested in just using LyX to write stuff... I learn a
few things about how to do something fancy and keep a copy of something it
worked in so that I'll have a chance of duplicating it again someday.
If it matters: I'm a ‘multi-boot’, ‘multi-Linux Distro’ user. And
I use whichever version of LyX is available from the repository of
whichever Linux system I'm currently using. At the moment that includes:
LyX 2.0.0 (April 29 2011) on PCLinuxOS
Actually I think LyX comes with impressive documentation. But when I half
remember something that I don't do very often it can take forever for me to
figure out where to find it again... And then there are the things that
change from one version to the next... I have a shell script that uses the
command line to open a half dozen related documents. I used to just know
that the one I work with the most could be indexed with ‘+V2’. Then
not so long ago the list evidently started loading in the revers order
so that became ‘+V5’... Now with the upgrade to LyX 2.0.0 that
I just got on PCLinuxOS the numbered list now starts with zero rather than
one, so now I've got to use ‘+V4’...
That is however not an issue, just an example of how the user interface can
feel like a moving target. Of more concern however is the spellchecker...
1) keyboard shortcuts: I remember that I had a little trouble remembering that
the shortcut to Add a word to the dictionary was the ‘D’ rather than the ‘A’.
And that I used to be frustrated that I couldn't use the keyboard (without
also having to use the {expletive-deleted} mouse) to accept anything but the
default first choice in the list of suggestions.
Then it seamed like somebody was listening because the newer versions of
LyX that started working their way into the assorted repositories of the
various Linux distributions I used, started using the ‘A’ for the Add
function and a suGgestion list picked up the ‘G’ (Though that had a minor
conflict with another button that one had to keep an eye on. But if the
other ‘G’ was selected I only needed to type another ‘+G’ to get the
one I wanted and then an enter key would activate it. Now with this version
2.0.0 the conflict for the ‘G’ was eliminated by assigning the ‘U’ to the
‘sUggestion’ list. Which I don't mind so much as I do the fact that the
‘A’ has been reassigned to the ‘replace All’ button and the the ‘D’ has
again been dumped on the 'add’ button. I mean the ‘All’ part of the
‘replace all’ function name isn't even unique. It just as easily congers up
the ‘ignore All’ function to me... «sigh» Worse still the ‘D’ in ‘aDd’ is
in conflict with the ‘D’ in the ‘Document’ pull down menu, resulting in
having to resort to the mouse if I want to ADD a word to the dictionary.
2) pop up vs sidebar: I think this was probably the solution to the issue
that the old pop up wasn't smart enough not to hide the hi-lighted word and
it's immediate context when it opened. And I'll admit that as much as I
totally loath all sidebars «I like my entire window width to always be
reserved for the primary text window of anything I'm editing/reading...»
Even a pop-up side bar is a better idea than blocking the view of the
word's context... Or at least it would be if:
3) closing spell checker via keyboard «getting it completely out of sight»:
It used to be that when I was done with spell check I could dismiss it
with the escape key. Now escape only returns the focus to the editing window,
while the spellchecker sidebar stays open. This is worse than those
distracting squiggly underlines that some programs insist on putting under
unrecognized words. I don't like those because they distract me from the
natural flow of my writing. (I spell check after I'm done trying to think
of what to say...) But a side bar that won't go away without making me
wrestle with that {many imaginative expletives deleted} rodent pointing
device to click on an {minor expletive deleted} excruciatingly small “X”
button REALLY stops me from thinking creatively about what I'm trying to
write.
4) adding hyphenated words to the dictionary: This no longer works properly.
In a story I'm writing there is a vessel named the Avant-garde, It's name
was added to the dictionary to make sure I spelled it consistently. Now it
doesn't recognize it. And adding it again (with the durned mouse «sigh»)
doesn't help...
5) checking errors in order of occurrence: I'm not sure that this one wasn't
a fluke, because even though it did this several times, the next time I
opened LyX and tried to duplicate this, it didn't happen. But I sometimes
leave words that are not found in the dictionary in place intentionally.
This is what the ‘ignore’ button is for... But some other place in the
document the non-standard spelling might not be desired. I use a spell
checking pl

No, actually I don't. There's no file with that name on my computer. However, I do have a file called "en-common.cwl" in that location.

Hi, Sorry for posting in this old thread. I've had the very same issue that Graham reported. After having followed Bennett's instructions, I now get the following error message: The file "/Library/Application Support/aspell6-en-6.0-02/en-common.rws" can not be opened for reading. Any ideas how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

Spell checker
Hi I have installed Lyx 1.6.7 for windows, and noticed that there is no spell checker. Downloaded Aspell and reconfigured Lyx. However, I have not been able to make it work (i.e. I press the button and get an error stating the spellchecker could not be started). Will appreciate your help Regards Alberto
Re: Spell checker
Alberto, I am also using LyX 1.6.7 on Windows, and have no trouble with the spell checker. Can you provide a bit more information? What installer did you use? What os (Vista, XP, W7)? Do you know how to start a spell-check, and you get a message? What exactly? Please explain.
