I was curious about this. I had already forgot that this was introduced in 2.4. :-) I searched in the lyx repository and I found that the Additional manual in French had this: $ grep -r spellchecker_ignore ... lib/doc/fr/Additional.lyx:\spellchecker_ignore french preprint ... When I open this file, search for preprint and select the word I do not get the option to remove from the document dictionary using the context menu.

Re: spellchecker
Hi Jose, What you are describing is the standard use of dictionary, but Lyx has also the option of using its internal dictionary (generated by ignore all) If I am correct the word are store under \spellchecker_ignore But lyx does not offer the option to remove these words. The only way that I found is to edit the lyx file and to remove the line if you wish to remove a word from the internal dictionary. > Sent: Friday, July 26, 2024 at 11:50 AM > From: "José Matos" > To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > Subject: Re: spellchecker > > On Fri, 2024-07-26 at 10:34 +0200, Patrick Dupre via lyx-users wrote: > > Hello, > > > > How can I manage the spellchecker associated with a lyx document? > > It seems that there is a an instruction like \spellchecker_ignore > > How can I modify the associated word list? > > > > Thank. > > Hi Patrick, > I am not sure if I am answering your question. :-) > > In my case, in the user directory (~/.lyx/ here) I have several > pwl_*.dict files. > > Those are text files where the word that we say to ignore are listed, > one per line. > > I hope that this helps, > -- > José Abílio > -- > lyx-users mailing list > lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users > -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

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

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

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...

If I understand correctly, there is no way to customize the buttons from
user text files. But the changes you suggest seem useful more generally
so perhaps we could incorporate them into LyX by default.
You could make a request for us to make changes at
http://www.lyx.org/trac
If you have multiple suggestions, please make separate trac tickets
(although feel free to reference each other).

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...
Thanks

Re: spellchecker kubuntu 14.04
Thanks.Liviu, However, I do not understand Step 1 On the PPA's overview page How do I get this overview page? Wolfgang If you're using the most recent version of Ubuntu (or any version from Ubuntu 9.10 onwards), you can add a PPA to your system with a single line in your terminal. *Step 1:* On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads /Adding this PPA to your system/. Make a note of the PPA's location, which looks like: |ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa| *Step 2:* Open a terminal and enter: |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name| Replace |ppa:user/ppa-name| with the PPA's location that you noted above.

Re: Spellchecker
It's 2.0.5.1. In playing with it a little more I came to the conclusion that this may just be the spellchecker's way of telling me that it found no more errors in the remainder of the document. Is that plausible?

Spellchecker
I'm trying to run the spellchecker on a document of about 23,000 words. It stops about halfway through, says it has reached the end of the document, and asks me if I want to start over from the beginning. I've tried creating a new, shorter document consisting of the last half of my original, but I get the same message when I try to run the spellchecker starting at the beginning of it. Any suggestions?

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. > I did load first a lyx file, of course.

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.

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.

Probably you need the development version of the spell checker package. Check the config.log of the configure run. It should look like this: checking aspell.h usability... yes checking aspell.h presence... yes checking for aspell.h... yes checking for new_aspell_config in -laspell... yes checking whether to use aspell... yes checking for ENCHANT... checking whether to use enchant... no checking for HUNSPELL... checking hunspell/hunspell.hxx usability... yes checking hunspell/hunspell.hxx presence... yes checking for hunspell/hunspell.hxx... yes checking for main in -lhunspell... yes checking whether to use hunspell... yes … Configuration Host type:- Special build flags: build=release warnings use-aspell use-hunspell Here I don't have Enchant and it's build with aspell and hunspell instead. You should see "yes" for Enchant if you have the developers package installed.

Re: Spellchecker-- AGAIN
I tried removing ~/.lyx and restarting Lyx before I posted my original question, but it did not work. My suspicion is that the compiled-from-source lyx somehow failed to make contact with the spellchecker and dictionaries, and that when I run lyx it is that version (from /usr/local/bin) that is actually running. I do not have this problem on several other machines, where I used the binary installer (both for Windows and for ubuntu), which is why I suspect the compiled-from-source version.

Spellchecker-- AGAIN
I know this has been asked here often, but now I cannot get the spellchecker to work. I am using Lyx 2.04.1 under Ubuntu 12.04. I have installed myspell-en-us, but the spellchecker box under spellchecker in Preferences is grayed out. What do I do? Thanks, EK

Cannot change the LyX Spellchecker language
Hello all, I am using LyX 2.0.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8. I would like to check spelling in LyX by using the "English (UK)" Language in the Spellchecker window. However, the pull-down menu to specify the Language refuses to change from the default "English" setting. Hence could someone in the know please tell me if this problem could be remedied? Thank you very much, Daisuke Koya

Contact its maintainer to see if support for Aspell was included. Alternatively, try to install hunspell and see if you can select that. Otherwise, it's really not that difficult to configure Enchant: read some Ubuntu docs and it should be one config file edit away.

Enchant is a wrapper library for different spell checkers. You can configure it to use Aspell if it isn't already the case. You have to look up the Ubuntu documentation how to do this. Stephan
Spellchecker Access
I'm working on an Ubuntu machine. I have Aspell installed and it works fine at the command line. When I attempt to set it as the spellchecker in lyx, I'm not allowed to choose anything...something called Enchant is selected, and I cannot change it.
