# Padre::Plugin::SpellCheck(3pm)

Check spelling in Padre, The Perl IDE.

## NAME

Padre::Plugin::SpellCheck - Check spelling in Padre, The Perl IDE.

## VERSION

version: 1.32

## DESCRIPTION

For Padre 0.98

This plug-in allows one to check there spelling within Padre using `"F7"` (standard spelling short-cut across text processors).

One can change the dictionary language used (based upon install languages) in\
  the preferences window via Plug-in Manager. Note that preferences can **only** be setup while the plugin is **disabled**. Preferences are persistent. You need to Save your preferred language.

This plug-in is using `"Text::Aspell"` default (legacy). You can also use `"Text::Hunspell"`, so check these module's pod for more information and install the one for you.

Of course, you need to have the relevant Dictionary binary, dev and dictionary installed.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    Check your file or selected text for spelling errors in your preferred language.
    F7
```

## PUBLIC METHODS

### Standard Padre::Plugin API

`"Padre::Plugin::SpellCheck"` defines a plug-in which follows `"Padre::Plugin"` API. Refer to this module's documentation for more information.

The following methods are implemented:

- *clean\_dialog()*

  - *menu\_plugins()*

  - *padre\_interfaces()*

  - *plugin\_disable()*

  - *plugin\_enable()*

  Return the plug-in's configuration, or a suitable default one if none exist previously.

  Add access to spelling preferences window.

### Spell checking methods

- •

  *spell\_check()*

  Spell checks the current selection (or the whole document).

## BUGS and LIMITATIONS

If you upgrade your OS, and run Perl from a local/lib,\
  you may find Hunspell stops showing local dictionary in preferences,\
  you will need to un-install Text::Hunspell and re-install in CPAN.

Spell-checking non-ascii files has bugs: the selection does not match the word boundaries, and as the spell checks moves further in the document, offsets are totally irrelevant. This is a bug in `"Wx::StyledTextCtrl"` that has some Unicode problems... So unfortunately, there's nothing that I can do in this plug-in to tackle this bug.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to `"padre-plugin-spellcheck` `at rt.cpan.org"`, or through the web interface at "/rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Padre-Plugin- SpellCheck" in http:. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
