[UserJS] Orangoo Spell Check 2

[UserJS] Orangoo Spell Check 2

This is a continuation of work that Sombria (our Polish female script writer ) did some time ago.
Original version was working by opening new popup window, this one is working inline (in the same page).

How it works?
Just click on textarea you want to spell check and you'll see Orangoo button appearing. Click on it and you'll know what to do next.


Features/changes since original version:

• Works inline (no popups).
  
• Works with textareas added dynamically through JS.
  
• Increases height of small textareas (enabled by default)
  
• Supports keyboard shortcuts:
  - while in textarea:
  CTRL+, (comma) - invoke spell checker
  - while in spell checker window:
  CTRL+Enter - OK
  CTRL+' (apostrophe) - Cancel
  
• Keyboard navigation is quite usable. Use spatial navigation (shift+arrows) to navigate in found errors. Use digits 1-9 to choose from listed suggestions. to revert to original word.
  
• Prevents submitting when spell check window is still open.
  
• Some small other tweaks, changes etc...

oh .. it is

Very nice d.i.z

Wow, that's pretty neat. Great work!

Now that is a mighty fine script. You did a great job augmenting Sombria's work.
(and much thanks to Sombria for the original)

I've been wanting a spell checker for Opera under Vista, and I wasn't too sure about Aspell. This script removes any need for Aspell, and enhances my browsing experience (or at least my blogging experience).

OK, I like this script so much that I'm thinking of giving it a page on my Opera Customizations site, alongside Operapedia. d.i.z. would you like it if I did that?

Nothing should stop you from doing that

Very nice!

I detect one bug
Write something then press ctrl+comma to open the spell checker. The textarea should have focus. It's annoying to have to use the mouse, and beats the purpose of a keyboard shortcut.

Just a small test with this script, ignore me.
This is incredible.

One thing, though: Too bad you can't use the Submit button even though Orangoo is Enabled.

Another issue I have found.
If the text form/field/whatever is RTLed, the script doesn't adhere to that and the text box is switched to LTR while in spellchecker mode.

Yes, I can see this happening when spellchecking happens but no errors are found. Will be fixed.

That's on purpouse. It's easy to submit form (post comment or something) without OK'ing changes in spell check window first, which will result in posting uncorrected text.

Maybe should be made optional and changeable through config, though.

Have to look into it. I don't really know how this whole RTL works (besides being right-to-left).

BTW. On windows 98, keypress keyCode changes while holding ctrl. This breaks shortcuts in these old systems.

BTW2. Forum eats every second linebreak?

Get direction computed style for the textarea, and assign that value to the generated one.

yes. I found that problem too.

orangoo.spell.inline.js

Thanks d.i.z., works great!

I have a problem: it does not work for me. (I dl:d it today)
I have dl:ed the js now twice, yes it's in the right folder, yes js is on, yes I've restarted Opera and even Windows.
All other's work fine in that same folder.
Ideas?

Any errors reported in Message Console? Are you using Opera 9?

No messages.

Are you using Opera 9?

Yes. Look at my sig

edit: I personally think I've tried everything. But as always, this must be something real simple that I haven't just noticed..... So please: tell me also the stupid things..

Did you use "Ctrl+," (Ctrl + comma) to activate it? Type something in a text field then hit "Ctrl+,"

Originally posted by ar1pe:

Sorry, I have sigs disabled.

One thing that happened to someone else before, was that the file was modified by Proxomitron when downloading. Do you happen to have any of such proxy software enabled? Even firewall or antivirus can do that too but not very likely.

EDIT:

Yes, good advice too. In some rare cases Orangoo button might not show up but script will work.

Thanks for the "stupid" idea Yes, I tried that: I've read all the information (???) I can get including the first post

edit: more "stupid" ideas, thank you
edit2: the forums just kicked me out???? Had to log in again...
edit3: @d.i.z.: nope (thanks anyway)
edit4: nope to your edit too
edit5: @d.i.z.: is there another js that might affect this one?
edit6: I created a totally new js folder that has no other js >>>> does not work:(
edit7: took the risk and turned off my firewall and antivirus (downloaded again (this time 4th) > does not work

Off to bed. I'll try to come back tomorrow ( maybe not before friday, sorry!)

Well, I can't seem to get this script to work for me either. I am running the latest weekly build and I have double checked every setting I can think of. No firewalls are enabled and the rest of my scripts seem to be working fine.

Thanks for the update d.i.z....

Just a quick question here. Do I have to disable Aspell before this script will work? I have it placed in my scripts folder and it is named as the one in the first post is named. When I start typing in a text area, as I am now, no buttons show up and nothing happens when I use Ctrl+,. No error messages show up in the message console. I am using Windows XP with the latest weekly build of Opera. Also, should the script work when composing an email message with M2?

I've made a debug version that spews out a bunch of messages.
For anyone having problems, try this:

1. Save this script (disable any other version of it)
   
2. Open Message Console and clear it
   
3. Refresh (F5) this thread
   
4. Click once on textarea so it gains focus
   
5. Select all messages in message console (CTRL+A, CTRL+C) and show this to me somehow
   

debug.js

There is chance there will be no messages at all, it would mean Opera is ignoring this file or not liking it for some reason but we will cover this later eventually.

Nope.

Originally posted by DynaBMan:

Nope, scripts are working only in web pages.

I figured it out. I have different folders for my scripts because I have some site specific scripts I use. Some of them are for the Opera forums and some are for the Neowin and Mozilla forums and I have the script folder set in Site Prefs for each site. I moved the script to the folder I had chosen for the Opera forums and it started to work. How would be the best way to deal with this problem, I wonder? Should I keep all of my scripts in one folder?

Not necessarily, I am using this method too...
M/B just put this script in all your folders, so did I...

So, you just put copies of the script in your different folders? Is there any chance that will slow Opera down? I really don't know the answer, just wondering aloud.

why do you keep them all in seperate folders? The files themselves should determine which sites they execute on so there is really no need for that. The only distinction I make in scripts is between normal userjs scripts and real greasmonkey scripts (*.user.js) just because I want to make sure that the greasemonkey helper functions scripts runs before they do although I could myself use one folder for this. You know you can put multiple folders in the userjs path too, check it:

C:\Profiles\Phred\Application Data\Opera\_userjs,C:\Profiles\Phred\Application Data\Opera\_userjs\greasemonkey

It reads the scripts in path order from left to right.

Erm mine says it cant find remote server when i try to spell check.

Yes, same here.
But it's likely to happen from time to time as script relies on third party service that might be down sometimes.

So, it shouldn't matter if all of the scripts are in one folder and shouldn't slow Opera down? If that is the case, then what is the use of being able to choose a specific user script folder in site preferences?

Excellent script is of very value.

Done.

I did have to remove the two extra periods in the filename to make it compatible with my .htaccess file, but I replaced them with underscores for readability.

Originally posted by DynaBMan:

No slowdown here...
And I like the idea of having extra folders for some special sites, where I use multiple 'UserJavascripts' to make them behave how I need it...

M/B there are better solutions, I didn't try every possibility...

I didn't try what *fearphage* proposed, i.e. using multiple scripts in a comma separated list in Site Specific Preferences...
Will try it!

Unfortunately we killed Orangoo.

Author have something up it's sleeve so let's see what happens.

EDIT: Works now.

The source code for Orangoo Spell Check is available for download. I wonder if I could set it up on my site, and take the extra load off of Orangoo.

d.i.z. can you tell me exactly what you need to make your script work off of my website? Would you need the Python based "Nox Spell Server" installed on my server, or is that not needed for the script to work?

Originally posted by GT500:

Yes, this is a must for things to work.

But as script works fine now, and author is thinking about possible resolutions for such problems, maybe we should refrain with moving for now.

Alright, I'll wait untill we learn what the author has in mind.

Please let me host this! I have so much bandwidth I would love to use. It will be professionally hosted but my host oversells so I'd love to use some of what i'm paying for. I'll read up on what I need to do.

Well, I'm not going to stop you.

I set up the demo here. I tried to install the server portion but I couldn't get that functional so for now it relays to google. If I can make it work, I will. Anyone wanna make a better theme/look? I didn't want to blatantly copy the original. An Opera theme wouldn't be too shabby. If you need anything updated, let me know. I am at work this very second so it may have to wait until this evening at the latest.
