It's not possible for a dialog to be able to be automatically positioned so as not to cover a specific word in a dialog underneath.

Once the dialog is open you can move it over to the side/other monitor/etc so it isn't covering the CV window... then you can double click on any word in the list without having the dialog cover any.

And you can shrink the size of the Dialog.

BTW the dialog is also resizable. I have mine on my second monitor, (Sigil remembers where it was from a previous session) so it never overlays. You might find an ancient 1024x768 LCD at a thrift store for very little $ if you want another display. There are USB video cards (modules) if you don't have an extra video port. For Sigil, you do not need FAST. |

Afterthought: make the Spellcheck Dialogue window dockable, e.g. in the same dock as most have Preview. BR Last edited by BetterRed; Yesterday at 08:06 PM. |

No, I was suggesting a keysequence that would do the same as a double-click does. That is all. The actual context depends on word list order as the word double-clicked on is searched for its first occurrence in CV.
So far I do not think any change is needed in the SpellCheck Dialog. And making yet another QDockWidget is not in the cards. The QDockWidget interface in the MainWindow is overly cluttered now in my opinion. Last edited by KevinH; Yesterday at 08:30 PM. |

F3 does nothing as far as I can tell, at least on my mac. I have to doubleclick on a word in the wordlist in Spellcheck to get CV to find the word and show its context.
From the SpellCheck Dialog code: Code:
connect(ui.SpellcheckEditorTree, SIGNAL(doubleClicked(const QModelIndex &)), this, SLOT(FindSelectedWord()) I was going to add a key sequence to do the same thing but if one already exists, that works to. But according to the code the only only place to get that is from the popup context menu but that requires a right mouse click as well. Are you sure we are talking about the same thing?

I have installed 2.3.1 and I've restored the default settings. F3 appears to be hard coded into the spell checker (along with F1 and F2) Note the lack of a key sequence for Select all - however Ctrl+A does work, as does Ctrl+C. Here are the default short cuts I see, where F3 is Go to link or style. Added: If it's of any interest the calibre editor spellchecker uses the Enter key to cycle through the occurrences of a misspelt word - seems quite effective.
