LinuxSpellChecker

class LinuxSpellChecker : NativeSpellChecker(source)

Linux implementation of NativeSpellChecker using Hunspell.

Hunspell is the most widely used spell checker on Linux systems. It's used by LibreOffice, Firefox, Chrome, and many other applications.

Dictionary files are searched in standard locations:

/usr/share/hunspell/
/usr/share/myspell/
~/.local/share/hunspell/

User dictionaries are stored in ~/.local/share/hunspell/{lang}_user.dic
