Firefox 2: improve spell checking
Initially, the dictionary is not quite complete and does not know a large number of modern and widely-spread terms on the Internet. This may not be very convenient if you write posts to the blog every day, comment on topics on Habré, or just write a lot using the web-based email interface. To some extent this can be solved by installing additional dictionaries (for example, from here ).
But there are several ways to improve the performance of the spellchecker. All these methods equally use the text file persdict.dat , which contains the set of words of the user dictionary located in the directory " C: \ Documents and Settings \ [user] \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Profiles \ [profile name] ".
Add several words at once
Instead of adding each unknown word through the context menu of web forms, you can immediately enter the necessary ones just by opening the file persdict.dat in notepad.
')
Use lists of common terms and names.
There are sites containing similar lists of names of well-known companies , or common computer terms . By copying the entire list, you can very well replenish the dictionary database FF.
Use the MS Office user dictionary
If you use MS Office, then you probably periodically add unknown words to its built-in spellchecker in the user dictionary. So why not use it?
Go to the " C: \ Documents and Settings \ [user] \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Proof " directory and copy the contents of the custom.dic file into our persdict.dat.
Before performing all the above operations with the file, you need to close the browser. You can edit the user dictionary in any text editor, entering each word from a new line. In the same way, you can delete words entered by mistake.
Enable spell checking in all text fields.
As already said in the translation didaio
, by default, spell check is performed not in all form elements, but only in multiline text fields. You can make it possible to check single-line fields by changing the layout.spellcheckDefault parameter from the standard value 1 to 2 , before opening the FF about: config advanced settings page.
At the moment, these are all possible ways to improve the built-in spellchecker, which allow you to easily expand its vocabulary to meet the modern requirements of communication in the network.
