c. Usage
--------
+ NOTE: if you upgraded from 0.7.0claws, please reselect your default
+ dictionary in the preferences.
+
After successful compiling, you need to tell sylpheed where your
dictionaries reside. First run 'pspell-config pkgdatadir' on the
shell to get their path.
When composing, misspelled words are highlighted. Click on any
highlighted word with the right mouse button to get a list of
- suggestions. You can also accept the highlighted word to the
- session dictionary (equivalent to an 'ignore' option of other spell
- checker), or you can add it to you personal dictionary.
+ suggestions. The first entry of the menu just displays the unknown
+ word. Selecting "Accept in this session" (or hitting MOD1-Space,
+ where MOD1 is usually the ALT key), will ignore this word and accept
+ it in this message. Selecting the next entry "Add to dictionary", which
+ is bound to MOD1-Enter combination will add the unknown word to the
+ dictionary to learn it. The next entries are the suggested words.
+ The first 15 suggestions can be accessed typing one of the first letters
+ of latin alphabet (if this does not suit your language, please send
+ a mail to melvin.hadasht@free.fr). If you are using an aspell
+ dictionary, you can use its 'learn from mistake' feature, by pressing
+ the MOD1 key and selecting the suggestion (with the keyboard or with
+ the mouse). See pspell manual ยง4.7.1 for an explanation of this
+ feature.
If you click with the right mouse button everywhere else, or if you
shift-right-click even on a misspelled word, you get the
configuration menu. 'Check all' highlights all misspelled words.
With this menu, you can also change the dictionary while editing.
- You can change the suggestion mode and toggle the learn from
- misktakes 'feature' (useful only with aspell).
+ FInally, you can change the suggestion mode misktakes 'feature'
+ (useful only with aspell).
+
+ Spell checking can also be done using keyboard shortcuts. In the
+ "Edit" menu of the compose window, there are two menus "Check backwards
+ misspelled word" and "Forward to next misspelled word". Add to them
+ appropriate keyboard shortcuts. "Check backwards misspelled word"
+ checks backwards from cursor position for the first misspelled word.
+ If it finds one, it displays the suggestions lists which can be handled
+ with the keyboard as described before. When the suggestion menu is
+ closed, the cursor returns to its original position to be able to
+ continue editing. The "Forward to next misspelled word" do the same
+ thing in the other direction but moves the cursor at the end of the
+ misspelled word. This way, you can spell check easily a whole message
+ starting from its beginning and using the "Forward to next misspelled
+ word" keyboard short cut.

d. Known problems
-----------------
to the 'pkgdatadir' and run 'make-ispell-pwli'. You may need to
su root.
+* simplify subject string
+ It is possible to remove parts of string from the subject line.
+ Example: [Sylpheed-claws-users] This is a test
+ becomes: This is a test
+ This is a per folder property. Right click on a folder and select
+ property, enable Simplify Subject RegExp check box. Example
+ regexp for the above is: \[Sylpheed-claws-(devel|users)\]
+ Another example for the Sylpheed mailing list (not claws!) is:
+ \[sylpheed:[0-9]{5}\]
There are a lot more options. If you find one, don't hesitate to
mention it.
