Default to all text when no selection. #7

Closed cfjedimaster closed 10 years ago

cfjedimaster commented 10 years ago

I'd like the extension to default to all text when there is no active selection. I thought the extension was broken when it refused to show me any report. I didn't even know I had to select first.

Call me silly, but I would like to see this extension act more like a linter. AFAIK, this is the only spell checker extension for Brackets, and I can't get it to work most of the time. It showing the results as a linter, however, would the remove text selection/auto select all deal and infinitely improve the extension, at least in my perspective.

cfjedimaster commented 10 years ago

Hmm, interesting suggestion. The issue though is that the linter can mark a line/character, but not a range afaik. So you could say that word X was mispelled at this position, but not easily do the replacement. (Actually you can't do replacements via the linting API.) But... hmmm. Maybe it would work. Should I try it in a fork?

le717 commented 10 years ago

Instead of replacing, it can display the top five (maybe less?) correct spelling suggestions after the message. If you want to try to, go right ahead. I'll try to test it out.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm currently not spending a lot of cycles on this extension, but if there are small improvements, like defaulting to check the whole text if there is no selection I can do that. However, it's a pleasure to see people use it :)

I do a lot of article writing in Brackets, using md files, and this extension is great for that.
