Spell-check flow improvements

Open ghost opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

  • A "back button" to go back to the previous spellcheck error / just modified error. If the file have lots a Names it's difficult to find where i was when i miss click.
  • The Edit button open a new popup window, could be nice if we can edit directly in the current spellcheck window to save some time.
  • On spellcheck window open, a "continue where you left of ?" could be nice. I frequently need to exit the spellcheck window to do some search and replace, and because there is lots of names in the file, i have to start spellcheck again from the beginning.

Thank you. (small paypal donation done, i use Gaupol frequently)

I agree on these issues, I have noted the same inconveniences in my own use.

  • A back button would be useful, but I think a bit difficult to implement on account of the "replace all" and "ignore all" actions as it's not just a single action that needs to be rolled back, but possibly several.
  • The edit button might be removable, that's how it works in the search-replace dialog. It needs to invalidate the various ignore/replace/etc actions as those are not well defined when the text changes. That's probably the reason why I cut corners and did it with a separate dialog as that was easier to get right.
  • Continuing where left off would be useful too, but a bit complicated both in terms of both the UI as well as the state management implementation.

I don't expect to work on these but am open to contributions.

Thank you for your feedback. maybe a back button withtout undo ? I mean just go back to previous modified entry to get the oportunity to edit it again.

I don't have codding knowledge, maybe if all requests are visible on landing page, someone with enough skills would be interested in improving.
