Doesn't work on scratch buffers.

[jtrv]

Skyspell highlighter doesn't seem to work in scratch buffers.

Steps to reproduce:

echo "mispelling" > test.txt
cat test.txt | kak -n -e 'eval %sh{skyspell-kak init}; skyspell-enable en_US'
kak -n -e 'eval %sh{skyspell-kak init}; skyspell-enable en_US' test.txt

This is hard to fix. skyspell-kak delegates the spell checking to the skyspell_core crate, which assumes the text you want to check is inside a text file.

That's why skyspell-enable uses a BufWritePost hook, and this obviously cannot work for scratch buffers.

We could have skyspell parse the contents of the scratch buffers using stdin for instance, but it's a big change.

I'm also interested to know what kind of scratch buffers need spell checking - can you elaborate on this ?

[jtrv]

I often open a scratch to type / modify some text, and then I copy and paste the result to the browser, chat, etc.

Oh I see - looks like a legitimate request. We'll need to make sure skyspell_core can handle stdin then.

We made a little progress - we now have a new TokenProcessor API in skyspell_core 5.0 which should make implementing this easier.
