DicThesaurusRex

This dictionary and thesaurus extension allows Squeak developers to benefit from spelling correction and synonym search. It optionally extends code editors with a spelling correction that underlines unknown terms and typos. These annotations can either be corrected with suitable suggestions or always ignored in case of well-known abbreviations. Moreover, the thesaurus integration provides helpful advice during searching and programming. For example, the source code search has been extended to look also for similar terms and synonyms. As a result, the search results present developers not only exact but also semantic matches.
