Browsing - Hotlinks - Ctrl 8 & spellchecker?
Posted by: Daveski17

I have noticed that F2 - Browsing - Hotlinks works fine until I try Ctrl 8. Then I get a spellchecker pop-up & it doesn't work as a hotlink. All of the other hotlink numbers work fine. Is this normal with a spellchecker installed?

Which spellchecker ? Theone installed as an extension ?

The shortcut used by it is Ctrl-*. I don't think it would be the reason of your problems.

I use this spellchecker. However I copied 2 UK spellchecker files from SeaMonkey into K-Meleon's dictionary folder (en-GB.aff en-GB.dic). This works fine & I have a choice between 2 dictionaries (US & UK). I usually have the UK dictionary as default. It's no real problem, but it is an interesting side-effect of copying the SM dictionary I think!

ok for the use of en-GB and en-US, but I don't see the relation between Spellchecker and Ctrl-8...

I have installed the en-GB keyboard to see if there is a relation between Ctrl-8 and Ctrl-*, but I found nothing.

If you think that there is a relation, you can change the shortcut un spellchecker.kmm (in macro folder).

I have no idea why it happens, apart from the fact that to get an * I have to press/hold Ctrl then press the 8 on my keyboard. It is a laptop with the numbers above the Qwerty keyboard only. This may be part of the problem. I tried to use the Vista 'On-Screen Keyboard' but it will only utilise the same type of keyboard as my laptop. I think it is a laptop thing. *scratches head* :s

Ok, it seem effectivally to be a keyboard problem (I remember some identicall problems with Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-6 with some laptop).

The easiest way to remove it is probably to change the shortcut.

In spellcheck.kmm replave the line 31:

setaccel"CTRL *","macros(SpellCheck");
by
setaccel"CTRL !","macros(SpellCheck"); if you choose Ctrl-!

It ought to do the trick
