Spell checking in webkit browsers

jsteel · 2011-08-12 22:13:34

Hi,

I'm trying out web browsers and find that webkit browsers such as uzbl and luakit do not handle spell checking. I've searched the web and their websites and can find no information; any suggestions?

Thanks

Works in jumanji.

Out of the box? It doesn't work for me.

I'd be surprised of any of the more strange webkit based browsers had it on by default. Most of them are "build your own broswer" kind of programs. jumanji is not an exception. Many of these types of browsers: uzbl, jumanji, luakit, dwb, vimprobable(2), etc... are documented quite well either in forums like these, checking their man pages, or looking at the config files in the source directory.

For a quick example, typing this when running jumanji in command mode turns the spell checker on:

:set spell_checking true

You can make it the default by adding it the ~/.config/jumanji/jumanjirc (with no leading colon). This kind of logic consistently repeats itself.
