Finally! Automatic Inline Spell Checking is Implemented in Kile

Enabling the automatic spell checking feature in Kile

Finally! I updated my Fedora 12 OS with some KDE updates this week and to my relief I saw the much awaited spell checking feature/bug was fixed. Now my favorite LaTeX editor is capable of checking spelling automatically. Additionally it can also suggest spellings as you type. Take a look at the thumbnails.

This is a very simple feature that is available in any basic text editor but unfortunately it was not implemented in Kile until now. My previous two blog entries, Hallelujah! In-line spell checking added to Kate and Inline Spell Checking May Finally be Implemented in Kate (and Kile) were premature and it took more than an year after my last post to actually see it.

Well at least now it is there, right on time for me; I need to start writing my dissertation pretty soon and this will really help me. Thanks to Kile and Kate developers.
