Single-key mode for jinx-correct-all

[rrthomas]

There's no reason why jinx-correct couldn't benefit too, but this is principally for whole buffer spell-checks which at the moment require more fingers and more keystrokes than ispell. It would be great if one could hit a single key for each normal action, similarly to ispell.

I don't understand. What do you have in mind precisely? jinx-correct-all supports at least some single key actions. I can hit 1, 2, 3, ... to select one of the suggestions and then jinx-correct-all immediately jumps to the next misspelling.

Furthermore you can press M-n and M-p to move on to the previous or next misspelling with a single key.

The only actions which don't work with a single key are the special actions +, /, *, @, but they might also require modifications of the word. Do you mean those? I could add single key bindings like M-+ for example. But then we enter a conflict if two + candidates are displayed because of casing, see our previous discussion #231.

[rrthomas]

Aha, I did mean the special actions. It just happened those were the ones I have been using the most, so I hadn't noticed that the others were "one-touch". In ispell, I can just press i, u, a etc. to perform a special action, and it works the same as accepting a correction with a digit.

[minad]

Okay, there we have the problem with casing: +Casing and +casing. Do you have a suggestion how to resolve this? I could add M-+ and the other special keys.

[minad]

Maybe I should prefix the alternatives with 0. Then it could work. I will experiment a little bit.

[minad]

Or I just continue the numbering with the quick select keys for the save actions. This would probably be more consistent.

Amazing! Many thanks.

My first mass spell-check session since this fix, and I've just realised I have no idea how to use it efficiently! I use vertico & consult, and it may just be my ignorance of these packages (apologies!): the shortcuts for actions appear at the end of the suggestions list, and I can't see how to either narrow the list so I can see the shortcut for an action or guess the shortcut for an action (because typically it's different each time). I can scroll the list or even jump to the actions section with forward-paragraph, but either of those options takes longer than typing the punctuation character required to activate the action directly.
