[SOLVED] Nano Editor SpellCheck

[Tart]

Hi All,

I really like nano editor, it is simple and easy to use. However when I try to do spell check on it using CTRL+T I get the following error message:

[ Spell checking failed: Error invoking "spell" ]


How to enable spell check in nano?

In past I tried vim and by default it didn't came with spell check. I had to install vim-full to enable spell check. Is this a similar situation with nano? I couldn't find any other extra packages for it.
I have both ispell and aspell installed.


Thank you!

Found solution


sudo gedit /etc/nanorc


find lines

## Use this spelling checker instead of the internal one. This option
## does not properly have a default value.
##
# set speller "aspell -x -c"

uncomment

If you like nano you should look at "ne" (the Nice editor) which is available in the package manager. It is a console (terminal) editor but has many more features than the normal 'small' editor. And all the keys are mapped to the 'normal' meanings for someone who has been using a Windows computer for 10 years. (like the arrow keys actually work, backspace and del keys work, etc)

Cheers!
