[opensuse] 11.3 kde4 konsole - How to kill the stupid white spell check box that is trying to spell check my aliases??
Guys, What is this stupid white spell check box that pops up in konsole that looks like it might be a spell checker?? That damn thing makes me have to hit enter twice every time I enter one of my short aliases (like x to exit). I know it must be something like a spell checker, but it isn't in my systray so I can kill it, and it isn't smart enough not to try and spell-check my cli input?? What is it, and how do I kill it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I'm guessing it's an IM (Input Methods) UI, for typing in non-Latin alphabets. It's not on the default install, but when it is present it hooks into Qt and pops up on certain key combinations to cause mass confusion in unsuspecting Latin typists. Try uninstalling scim-qtimm and logging back in.

If it is really the SCIM (Smart Common Input Method platform) and someone needs it (at least in a graphical environment): I think it will not be so hard just to deactivate the key combinations in the SCIM's settings.

Greetings pistazienfresser
Thanks Pistazienfresser, But that isn't a solution. There is no way I can go exclude everything I type into the command line. Think about every thing you enter there. You would basically have to start by excluding all bash builtins, keywords and operators, and then you would need to go exclude all executables you use, just to get scim to stop nagging you when you are using the command line. The correct solution for something like that is have to option to exclude applications on an application-by-application basis so that annoying little thing will not bother you at all when you are running xterms, konsole, etc.. and that app should also come with an intelligent list of applications excluded. It looks handy for having a consistent spell checker across most apps, but until it knows which apps to leave alone, it is as Will put it, it is much easier to: 08:15 zephyr:/home/backup/rpms/suse11.3> sudo rpm -e scim-qtimm and go back to using the computer like you always have. -- David C.

You nailed it. Damn that little thing is annoying. I like the concept - single app providing spell checking for all apps - but it has to be smart enough to exclude konsole, xterm and the like. It was maddening to have something pop-up and try to spell check everything I typed at the command line. I didn't do anything special to install it. All I have done to the box is update 11.2->11.3 so what ever pulled it in, pulled it in on the 11.3 net install. Thanks again. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
