This layer adds grammar checking using LanguageTool. LanguageTool will use the
language set using SPC S d if the spell-checking layer is enabled.
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add languagetool to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in
this file. You can set the default language by setting
langtool-default-language. This value will be used when no custom language has
been set using SPC S d:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((languagetool :variables
langtool-default-language "en-GB")))It’s also possible to immediately show the error when jumping to errors with [
a and ] a by setting languagetool-show-error-on-jump:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((languagetool :variables
languagetool-show-error-on-jump t)))LanguageTool and JRE 8+ are required to use this layer. You can install
LanguageTool using your system’s package manager or by extracting the standalone
archive found on LanguageTool’s website. You can tell the layer where
LanguageTool is installed by setting the langtool-language-tool-jar variable
to the location of languagetool-commandline.jar or by setting
langtool-java-classpath:
;; Standalone installation
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((languagetool :variables
langtool-language-tool-jar "/home/username/languagetool/languagetool-commandline.jar")))
;; Classpath (e.g. after installing with `pacman -S languagetool')
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((languagetool :variables
langtool-java-classpath "/usr/share/languagetool:/usr/share/java/languagetool/*")))| Key Binding | Description |
