Description Roger Larsson 2002-09-19 01:10:33 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

There is no option to spellcheck when posting forms from konqueror - like this one.

But often you submit text that you like to spellcheck - like this one.

So this "Wishlist" could have been directed directly to konqueror developers... but I think most applications with text fields would gain a lot if it could easily be spellchecked.

That is why I direct it towards kdelib.

(But do not forget other requests to allow several languages for spellcheck)

I like the idea, but it will be rather complicated taking that the widgets 
would have to know about kspell, but somehow this should be done :)

Comment 2 Roger Larsson 2002-09-23 22:25:16 UTC

Widgets would not need to know about kspell!   
   
Widgets would need to know that there might be tools working on the MIME type   
text/plain. Or maybe not even that - the widget could know that there might  
be tools that can operate on it.  
   
kspell could be registered as working on text/plain or some widgets.  
And when right clicking on the widget you get a menue of all available tools.  
  
A related use might be:  
* On a html page you find that one picture that is too dark. Check the right  
mouse button - there is a brighten tool!

I just added support for this to KHTML.  There are still some things that I would like to 
do to make this prettier, but it already works, and you can expect this in KDE 3.2.
