Hello,
First I would like to say that I really like geany. I use it the most as a simple text editor like mousepad and gedit. But this is better. Also I use it for basic programming.
I would like to have the feature of language spell check and a easy way to switch to another language. This is because I often work in more than one language a day.
Best regards,
Jelle de Jong
and ones again also to list ;)

I'd support such a feature, because I'm using Geany mainly to write LaTeX. But we already discussed about it. Please have a look at http://lists.uvena.de/pipermail/geany/2006-October/000519.html
Maybe there is a chance to implement some kind of spell checking by using the new command interface.

I read the discussion in the mailing archive.
ok, first a good programmer will always document his code and I would really like/need a spell checker with this.
Then I would like to use geany as a all in one tool if it uses the same spell checker database as firefox, thunderbird, openoffice and gedit (gtkspell and aspell) this would be nice.
Another thing is the lacking of a gtkprint dialogue! can this be implemented. I have a lot of printers and changing the lpr command is not very user friendly.

I'm completly with you. but on the other hand it will couse a big number of dependencies.

As long as these could be switched off with a ./configure option, would that be a big deal ? I understand and totally support the reasoning that dictates that Geany should have as few dependencies as possible, but optional features wouldn't hurt either.

Hi Jelle,
When I need to spellcheck, I just duck to a terminal window and run: "aspell check <filename>". Haven't tried it with other languages, but its man page indicates that they are supported.
If you've also got the file open in Geany, when you come back to Geany, it just asks if you want to reload it if it's been changed.

If this feature will come, it probably will use aspell. But it isn't that easy at all because gtkspell can't be used. gtkspell is based on GtkTextView as the editing component but we use Scintilla. AFAIK there is nothing similar available for Scintilla. One solution could be (just a thought, I didn't do any investigation ;-)) to send the text of the editor to aspell, parse aspell's output and mark the appropriate words in Geany with red squiggle lines. But I assume this would take much effort too implement and could slow down the usual work process. But as told before, I didn't do any investigation. At the moment, I can only say please be patient.
In the meantime, think about John's suggestion...;-)

It will come, unfortunately I have no idea when.
