Question: Is there any auto-correct that works globally in all (or at least, many) applications? Particularly non-terminal. So for example firefox (like this text box I’m typing into), chat, text editors, word processors etc?
Example: I often type “teh” when I meant “the”. I would like to have that change automagically.
I’m sure somewhere in my life (not in linux — maybe on mac?) I had the ability to right click on a red-underlined misspelled word in any application and select “always change this fix this to…” and then it would.
Autokey is the only close suggestion I can find. But I guess you have to tell it about every single replacement through the configuration? Are there any pre-made configurations of common misspellings?
How is the performance if you end up with dozens, hundreds, of phrases for it to look out for?
Not looking for: a code linter, command line corrections or grammerly which are the suggestions I have found when searching.
soooo how do I access it?
If the libraries are available, programs that implement spell check will use them automatically.
