Spelling

A spell checker is a program designed to help the user catch and correct any spelling errors. This section of the preferences dialog allows certain key settings to be adjusted in this regard.

Create root/affix combinations not in dictionary

Selecting this option allows the spell checker to register as “correct” combinations of root words with suffixes or prefixes even if the particular combination is not listed in its dictionary database of words.

Consider run-together words as spelling errors

Selecting this will cause the spell checker to register as “misspelled” two or more correctly spelled words that are “run-together”, that is,, that do not have spaces separating them.

Dictionary:

Depending on the user's installation, one or more different language spelling dictionaries may be available. This drop down box allows the user to choose which language the spell checker should use.

Encoding:

There are different coding systems used to associate particular codes with particular characters and symbols. If the user knows which code he or she is using this drop down box allows this code to be specified so that the spell checker can do its job correctly.

Client:

Since KEdit does not contain its own spell checker, an external one must be chosen. This is where the user may specify which spell check program to use.
