Hi guys,

- A function will be useful in Trelby: the undo, redo ones that will allow user to come back to their errors when writing and undo or redo a cut and paste, a change etc... Is this function planned?

- I saw too, that it was possible to put Trelby without problem on an USB key, it's a pity that that useful function is not described on the website waiting for the potable one (like Celtx)

- Where is your spell checker function can we put ourselves another spell checker language (ASPELL, HUNSPELL?)

- Funny function: I have another little text writer named Focus writer (http://gottcode.org/focuswriter/) quite similar in a sense to Trelby by its simplicity and being also a non-distraction writing program. They have a wonderful function which is the sound of old typewriter keyboard, ok it's a gadget BUT I Love it!;0)and find it very peaceful when writting so if there is any possibility to add it to Trelby!

Using Trelby since a week now (I have imported my scenario from Celtx without problem) and everything is running fine and quick...

Thanks again for this wonderful program

Robert

This is currently implemented in a branch of mine and is being
reviewed for inclusion into the program.

Have you got this working? I have not personally tried it.. but it
_should_ work (atleast with --test argument).

A user on the forum came up with a utility to use open office
dictionaries under trelby. Look for this utility in other thread in
this list.

Sounds pretty nice.. I guess we can have a tiny wav file, and have an
option to play it on every keypress. To be added to the issue
tracker..

Cool. Let us know of any more feedback here, and spread the word :)

Please don't add an issue for playing a sound on keypress, it will never be included in the program. As the wiki page says about the bar features have to clear to even be considered for inclusion: "Is the feature broadly useful? There's no point adding features that only you or a few people will use." Fake keypress sounds do not clear that bar.
