Yes, it's yet another "me too" post, this time for gtkspell. Spelling checker support is widely used in many apps, and from my POV is a huge pain because gtkspell is a very common failed dependency for autopackages. We provide tools to make weak linking against this library simple but a few projec

I don't have a problem "me too"ing this request, since I think I've been asking for spell checking for all text-entry widgets for the past two years as well as a richer textview widget. IMHO we should have a textview widget that is good enough to pretty much replace GtkHTMLEditor, with undo/redo a

Jody, How complete is your undo stack? Does it handle undoing style changes? Redoing rich content pastes? Inserting images? Does it handle aggregating multiple key presses or deletes into "words" that can be undone as a unit? -Alex Jody Goldberg wrote: On Fri, Aug 26, 2005 at 02:03:00P

I'm all for spellchecking in Gtk, but GtkSpell has been nothing but trouble for me in Tomboy. It still doesn't handle multiple textbuffers sharing a tag table (which means that rich copy/paste doesn't work), and has some serious memory leaks (though this may be due in part to pspell). -Alex

I'm not a Gtk+ developer, but I think one of the criteria for being considered is: doesn't introduce a new library dependency, or maybe it can, if it really makes sense. Gtk+ depending on a spell checking library hardly makes sense, however. On Fri, 26 Aug 2005, Mike Hearn wrote: > Yes, it's yet

Something that really bothers me about gtkspell too is the lack of an option in the popup to change the language. While by default it uses your desktop language (I think), which is something that makes sense, there are a lot of non-native English speakers running their desktops in English (I, for e
