Hi,
That's because flyspell-correct-wrapper
doesn't care about regions at all and was implemented with a slightly different use case in mind. I'd say that region correction is about active spell fixing and not about writing, while flyspell-correct-wrapper
is about active writing and spell fixing on the go. I type the text and then I notice that I have a typo, I call flyspell-correct-wrapper
, it allows me to fix that typo (and maybe more) and continue writing from the place I left.
And it doesn't mean that your use case is wrong or out of the scope of this library. I'd say, flyspell-correct
library should/could provide a function flyspell-correct-region
utilising flyspell-correct-at-point
for correction.
Hi,
Thanks. That was a great answer to read because it also goes into the philosophy of your implementation (active spellchecking vs. writing). As you might have seen from the code I included, I am rather bad at elisp since I use it only very occasionally and I probably know about 0.5% of what elisp has to offer.
I will try to implement something like flyspell-correct-region
(thanks for the tip, I'll use flyspell-correct-at-point
) one of these weekends when I find some time. If I do, I will try to send it to you for feedbacks and a possible contribution to your awesome library!
Cheers
FWIW, you may use narrow-to-region
in this case:
(defun +xx/spellcheck-region-and-launch (beg end)
(interactive "r")
(flyspell-region beg end)
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region beg end)
(flyspell-correct-move (point-min) t t))
Not quite ideal because you cannot see other parts of the buffer while correcting words. So IMO a dedicated command without narrowing is still useful.
Hi, I was wondering if there is a built-in way to run
flyspell-correct
on a selected region. So far, I have got this:While it does indeed run
flyspell
on the selected region, but after doing that, it proceeds to spellcheck the entire buffer withflyspell-correct
! Any help/tips/links would be very welcome. And apologies if this is not the right forum for this question. I'm happy to immediately delete this issue if this is the case.
