Which spell checker does gedit use?


People claim different things(such as aspell, enchant, etc.) on different web pages.

However, as far as I can see, it uses hunspell.

Does anyone have solid knowledge on this?


Solution

  • From a gedit developper on the gedit mailing list:

    We don't use aspell directly, but use 'enchant' which is a kind of frontend for multiple spell checker dictionaries.
