1.7.1. Emacs

1. ispell-mode for Emacs
   

   This checks grammar using when you ask.

   (use-package ispell                     ;
                :demand t
                :ensure t
                :hook
                (tex-mode-hook . (lambda () (setq ispell-parser 'tex)))
                :config
                ;; (ispell-change-dictionary "british-ise-w_accents" t)  ;; aspell-specific
                ;; превед привет
                (setf ispell-program-name (executable-find "aspell"))
                ;; This will not change the language automatically. You still have to select it manually.
                (setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
                             '(("ru-local"
                                "[АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЬЫЪЭЮЯабвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщьыъэюя]"
                                "[^АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЬЫЪЭЮЯабвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщьыъэюя]"
                                "[-]"  nil ("-d" "ru-yo") nil utf-8) ;; aspell
                               ("british-local"
                                "[A-Za-z]" "[^A-Za-z]"
                                "[']"  nil ("-d" "en_GB-ise") nil utf-8)))
                (ispell-change-dictionary "british-local" t)
                (setq ispell-silently-savep t)
                )
   

   ispell-dictionary-alist is probably not the best here.

   In Russian files, switch the language by using ispell-change-dictionary.

   Should be configured in some weird way in order to check both languages.

2. flyspell-mode
   

   (use-package flyspell
                :demand t
                :ensure t
                :hook
                ((text-mode . flyspell-mode)
                 (prog-mode . flyspell-prog-mode))
                :config
                (diminish 'flyspell-mode "🦋🧙")
                (setf flyspell-use-meta-tab nil)
                )
   (use-package flyspell-correct ; -ido
                :ensure t
                :demand t
                :bind
                (:map flyspell-mode-map
                            ("C-;" . flyspell-correct-wrapper))
                :init
                (setq flyspell-correct-interface #'flyspell-correct-popup))
   

   Works, but I would recommend trying spell-fu.

3. spell-fu
   

   Only uses aspell, but supports what was flyspell-mode, and what was flyspell-prog-mode Also is very fast.

   (use-package spell-fu
                :ensure t
                :demand t
                :config
                (setf spell-fu-faces-exclude '(org-meta-line org-link org-code))
                (global-spell-fu-mode)
                :bind
                (("C-," . spell-fu-goto-next-error)))
   
   

4. flycheck-aspell
   

   Quite unfinished.

5. languagetool
   

   ;;;; LanguageTool
   (use-package languagetool
                :ensure t
                :demand t
                :config
                (setf languagetool-language-tool-jar
                   "/usr/share/LanguageTool/languagetool-commandline.jar")
                (setq languagetool-java-arguments '("-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"))
                (setq languagetool-default-language "en-GB")
                (setq languagetool-server-language-tool-jar "/usr/share/LanguageTool/languagetool-server.jar")
                (languagetool-server-start))
   

   Add languagetool-server-mode to your hooks, if you have a strong CPU.

   Otherwise, use languagetool-check.

6. flycheck-proselint
   

   (flycheck-verify-setup)
   

   and enable the spelling checker there.

7. flycheck-textlint
   

   (use-package flycheck
                :demand t
                :ensure t
                :config
                (setf flycheck-textlint-executable "~/binary_software/2021-05-29_textlint/bin/textlint")
                (setf flycheck-textlint-config "~/.textlintrc")
                (add-to-list 'flycheck-checkers 'proselint) ;; also enabled somewhere in customize
                (global-flycheck-mode)
                (diminish 'flycheck-mode "🦋✓"))
