Run grammar check on Org buffers automatically with Language-Tool
Published on Mar 6, 2022, by Junji Zhi
I
blogged
about my LanguageTool setup a while ago. The default workflow is to invoke M-x
langtool-check-buffer when I like it. But I find it too manual. So I set it up
to run the check automatically right before saving an Org buffer.
The trick is to add it as a before-save-hook for org-mode:
(defun jz/org-mode-hook ()
;; Check grammar with langtool before save
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'langtool-check-buffer nil 'local))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'jz/org-mode-hook)
With this, every time I save an org buffer, it runs the langtool check.
All errors are highlighted, and I can invoke
M-x langtool-correct-buffer to fix the errors one by one.
It works nicely alongside my Vale style linter:
