Dear all,

Just to re-kindle the fire, I would like to focus your attention to
http://www.lyx.org/Donate, *bug 718*.

Since I am a "spelling blind" person, I really hope that sometime soon, we
can add a *continous spell check* feature into lyx which will check your
spelling at every moment, and alert you with a red wavy line, telling you
that something is wrong.
Then you can decide to: keep it wavy, ignore it, correct it, or add it to
your private spelling library.

Some call this *spell-check-on-the-fly*

In past threads, there was one camp of users who thought that this feature
is SO ANNOYING and that we (the other camp) are just lazy to check at the
end of the day. But then, in the options, you'll have a choice to disable
this feature. So there is no point in NOT having this feature. All users
will thus benefit from this basic feature.

Note that this is obviously a feature in firefox now, and I use it all the
time.

Abdelrazak agreed to add-in this feature when we reach 1000 euro.  We are
quite close now, and I hope that some new lyx members would like to join and
put some more money in the pot to get this feature going quickly.

go to

and look at bug 718

Thanks,

Erez
