jarring text movement with live spell checking #3

Closed reagle closed 4 years ago

reagle commented 4 years ago

micro-misspell-plugin spell-checks on save, and I can now see why. As I type using micro-aspell-plugin, my sentence gets shifted two characters to the right as >> is prefixed to indicate a misspelled (really incomplete) word and then two characters to the left as it removes ">>" once if I finish typing the word. Once I start typing the next word, the same thing happens. This is very jarring.

You could similarly spell check on save only, reserve the two left most columns for >>, or simply rely upon the underlining alone.
