jinx VS linux

jit-spell: Alternative to Flyspell which operates asynchronously and checks the entire screen (not just words you just typed). Similar to u/minad's jinx (which is in fact a fork of jit-spell); jinx runs the spell-checker synchronously inside Emacs via a C module, while jit-spell uses an asynchronous subprocess.

Just use jinx it's dope

Another recent example is my Jinx package, where people suggested that I should rather put the functionality into Ispell or Flyspell. Neither are good places to put the Jinx functionality as a mode. Obviously Jinx is a large enough and self-contained package providing a well-defined feature set. Furthermore its mode of operation is entirely different from both Ispell and Flyspell, so putting it there wouldn't result in much code reuse. It would look more like two packages cramped into one. Sometimes clean alternative implementations are justified.

Thank you! I tried to get it working, but unfortunately it isn't compatible with MacOS. https://github.com/minad/jinx/issues/82

One thing that had improved recently for writing is the appearance of several new spell-checking packages, the most recent and popular one being jinx. Grammar/style checking is still sub-optimal. Not sure if authors rely on such tools or that your Grammar knowledge is such that you don't need it and for really proof-reading you have an editor anyway.

Jinx is the new kid on the block for spell-checking, and it is the best!

I can't help you specifically, but have you looked at Jinx by the formidable Daniel Mendler? Jinx lets you use multiple spell-checking backends (hunspell included) with multiple dictionaries—even in the same file. So, for example, I have used German and English dictionaries simultaneously to edit a mixed-language file.

Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

Just want to praise a package called jinx, it provides a spell checker for Emacs, which is really fast.

It's actually incredibly useful to have apps like window managers or apps that rely on manipulating user input like xcape read another apps data. In fact such are still possible just 10x as complicated as they now involve writing awful little programs in some combination of c and yaml instead of a dead simple single line shell invocation of a program.

The fact that this can work at all seems to suggest that its just as possible for malicious code running as user to compromise your security and the only thing actually broken is useful apps.

After updating my system after a while, i found Interception-tools to not working . It fails on a dependency on libyaml-cpp.so.0.7

Having both is a game-changer. Depends on your OS. On Mac, I use Karabiner. Linux I used use caps2esc and on Windows I use a custom AutoHotKey.

Before that I had used interception tools for key rebindings, which relied on the udevmon service to intercept keypress events, and thus even works in a TTY terminal, not requiring a window manager. I use vim keybindings in Emacs and for that I found it useful to rebind ESC to CTRL if tapped, but it still acts as CTRL when held (now I have implemented that in my keyboard firmware).

In addition to using ctrl+a as prefix... some of us remap capslock to ctrl so then the two buttons are right next to each other and easy to press with one motion. (This then makes it possible to have that key be ctrl when pressed in combo with another key or esc when pressed on its own.)

i use both X and Wayland and i also have a lot of key switching going on. So to have a universal config that works under both protocols i have to go lower than the display server protocols. I looked around for such a thing and finally found the interception tool

Do you know about https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc? It makes it ctrl when held in combo with another key or esc when pressed on its own w/o other key (I loved it before ergodox) and there are some related plugins there for other keyboard customizations as well.

Caps2Esc is a very useful input remapping utility: it turns the Caps key into either Esc or Control depending on how it's used: - if the Caps key is released before another key is pressed, it emits Esc - If the Caps key is used in chording mode, like by pressing Caps and C, it emits Control, to send Control-C
