I agree. Too long dictionary menu is not useful. Maybe after selecting "Change Dictionary" menu item it should pop up the *Completions* buffer (like e.g. `C-u C-h t' does), so mouse users could select a language without touching the keyboard for typing SPC, TAB, or ?. >>> + (list dict-name >>> + "[[:alpha:]]" >>> + "[^[:alpha:]]" >> >> This code doesn't take into account the real charsets used in >> dictionaries.

I observed several problems with spell-checking multi-language texts using aspell with ispell.el. Maybe those are bugs in aspell, but we could try to improve ispell.el to work around them. > In this new patch I've also included your changes for user awareness > of which program is being used, and changed aspell-* to ispell-aspell-*. I already installed my changes, so please update your patch from CVS. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list Emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
