Re: [gedit-list] Spell Check Bug

THANK YOU Jesse,

This has been really bugging me for a while.
I opted for editing the file directly because I was unable to hover over the menu item correctly :-)

There is something wrong on ubuntu with the shift modifier I think. Right now, the toggle-cursor-visible (which is bound to just F7) is triggered also when pressing shift-f7, hence overriding the spell check shortcut. The easiest way to solve the issue is to assign a different shortcut to the spellchecker for now:

1) Make sure to close all instances of gedit

2) gedit ~/.config/gedit/accels

3) Find the following line

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GeditSpellPluginActions/CheckSpell" "<Shift>F7")

and replace it with

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GeditSpellPluginActions/CheckSpell" "<Primary>F7")

or something similar. Note: you have to remove the semicolon in front of the line

Alternatively, you can launch dconf-editor and check the /org/gnome/desktop/interface/can-change-accels setting. Then in gedit hover over the menu item and press the new shortcut key (btw, when doing this in ubuntu the shift key is also ignored, weird).

Does anyone know a way to fix the spell check shortcut key in Gedit under Ubuntu 12.04?
When you press Shift+F7 nothing happens.
