How to clear the 'memory' of flyspell-popup? #3

Open boudiccas opened 8 years ago

i use flyspell-popup every day and its very useful, but I can't find how to clear its memory. I use a snippet with yasnippet for a latex glossary entry of '\gls'. But its now showing up as the default entry as '\gls\'! So how can I clear that entry and get my preferred one please?

I don't know. flyspell-popup doesn't use any 'memory'. Could you check again if this is related to flyspell-popup? What's your setup for flyspell-popup (if any)?

I have a similar question. As a developer, I know that this is not strictly related to flyspell-popup, but as a user, I see why this subject comes up. Say I have saved a word by mistake, how do I remove it from my personal dictionary? It would be nice if flyspell-popup could offer an menu option somewhere (maybe on the main menu bar) to do that.

I am not very familiar with the spell checker. However, the personal dictionary for me is ~/.aspell.en.pws, I can simply edit the file, and if the ispell process is running, kill it with M-x ispell-kill-ispell.

Thanks for your hint, which saved me some searching. However, a menu option for the command-line impaired would still be nice. Or at least a mention in the CAVEATS or LIMITATIONS section in the README. After all, this is one of the first usability issues that you encounter. A wrong click (the mouse pointer moved a little), and you cannot undo, or manually delete, the last "save word" operation. Users will turn to your package first, because that's where they added the word.
