Welcome to my personal site, where I irregularly post technical notes, usually Emacs or Haskell-related. I am developer at Wix during the daytime, and developer at home before and after the daytime. When I am not writing code, I am either drinking wine or drinking tea (with these little cups). Cheese is my bread and tracking everything in Emacs is my cheese. So welcome!
It’s hard (though possible) to imagine a script that doesn’t access environment variables. In Haskell ecosystem there is a good built-in module System.Environment that does the job, but it has several drawbacks. First of all, it uses String data type as input and as an output. And secondly, it lives in IO. Both of these drawbacks are not that critical, but calling all these Text.pack, Text.unpack and liftIO in every program drives me nuts. So several years ago (somewhere in 2016) I decided to write a simple library that wraps it for me.
I’ve been using this library for a long time and today I uploaded it to Hackage. While it’s really small, I still think that some of you might find it useful, because it has some nice features that original System.Environment doesn’t have. Let’s take a look!
flyspell-correct is a package for distraction-free words correction with flyspell via selected interface. It’s available on GitHub and MELPA.
Recently, there was a major release of flyspell-correct. Version 0.6 introduces new interface (avy-menu), fixes point movements, warnings, autoloads and switch to the lexical binding. Read further for the complete change list.

Not long ago I have released the first version of flyspell-correct. There are several interesting changes compared to initial implementation. First of all, I divided this package into four different packages - core and interfaces. This allowed me to properly setup dependencies and also solved some problems with helm interface. Second important change - I’ve added a function called flyspell-correct-previous-word-generic, which is useful when the misspelled word is not under point, but long behind it. Right now I realise that it doesn’t work as perfect as I want, so I’ll improve it in the next release.

It’s very common to make mistakes while writing notes, comments or whatever. And a desire to have spell checking software is natural. In Emacs, we usually use Flyspell for that purpose. It’s a great piece of software, but sometimes it lacks better interface for correcting words. Especially since there are completion packages like popup.el, helm, ivy etc. There are already available separate packages for correcting words via popup.el (wiki, flyspell-popup) and helm (helm-flyspell). Since recently I have switched from helm to ivy, I’ve found a lack of similar package for ivy, so I decided to write my own.
But available packages are all the same, except the part that calls completion front-end, so my goal was to provide a generic package allowing usage of any interface. Either from the predefined set (ivy, helm, popup or dummy) or any user-defined.

Recently there was the third major release of CanonicalPath library introducing some good stuff, but unfortunately breaking API (just a tiny little bit).
