Description
Auto Correct is a feature in Imprudence which helps you automatically correct your written text. This feature was developed by the Emarald viewer team. Text Translation is available in Imprudence 1.4.0 beta 1 and later, and in Imprudence Experimental 2010.09.04 and later.
Activation
To invoke the Auto Correct options you need to go the Spell Checking & Translate-tab in Preferences CTRL+P in the Chat-tab section of the preferences.
The settings for Spell checking, Auto Correct and Translation have been moved from the Advanced-tab to the Chat-tab in Imprudence 1.4.0 Beta 1.
Then click on the AutoCorrect...-button to open the window with corresponding settings.
Select the check-box Enable Autocorrect to activate this function.
Lists
In the Autocorrect Settings window you see 3 standard list "Entries";
- Abbreviations A list of abbreviations commonly used in chat.
- Custom A empty list to use for your own spelling correction words.
- Spelling Correction A list of commonly misspelled words.
Options
- Enable
You can enable / disable the lists separately. Once Enabled, the name of the list will show up as bold in the Entries-field. And when an Abbreviation or misspelled word is found it will automatically replace that word with the word(s) from the list. - Priority
Every list in your Entries-field has a priority. This number determines in what order the list is used to replace words. A higher priority means the list will be used before a list with a lower priority. - Show Notifications
This options will show a notification pop-up for ever word that is replaced. - Word Style
Having this checked means the list is for full words that should be replaced. Unchecked means that it will look within words contents as well.
