Discover repeating words

To discover repeating words I use this find expression

Code: Select all

 ((?:\m\w+\M)) \1 
The drawback is that this matches also if the second word is only _beginning_ with the first one, like in “be better”, or “can candy”. How to avoid these?

Re: "Complete List" Macro

Great. that macro works perfectly well for me. Thank you Kino, and also Groucho.

I would suggest that "Insert pagebreak" and "Insert Section break" are documented in the Nisus Macro Refeeence.

Re: "Complete List" Macro

The good news as far as I am concerned: The modification works perfectly well with paragraphs, thank you. As for sections, I don’t not know: If I add a section break from the insert menu, and paste it into a find window (in Regex mode) what it actually inserts is \f, the same as a page break. (And b...

Re: "Complete List" Macro

That‘s a great and helpful macro. Now I wonder about this: The page as a „package size“ is of course very interesting for physical books. But for text analysis it is often more interesting to know whether a certain word appears within a package size you define yourself, f.e. within a paragraph, or w...

Where are all the Nisus support files?

If my Mac breaks down and I have to continue on another (identical) machine where I download a new copy of Nisus: Which files do I have to backup to transfer to have my Preferences and Macros as before?

Keyboard access in the Document Mananger

Thanks for that great new document manager. I find that this alone puts Nisus ahead of any other word processor I know. Using it often I have tried to find a possibility to enter the Filename or Document window directly from the keyboard. I have not yet found a way to do this. Closing and opening th...

Re: Macro for fast spell correcting

Probably the best way to do this is to have the popup always display itself with the first entry pre-selected. Yes that is what should be implemented. Then if the command is invoked again (eg: as you say with Command + "Y") the change is committed and you move on to the next misspelling. ...

Re: Macro for fast spell correcting

No this was not my point. Let's take these few word from your answer: "put your feature together however you please" Imagine that (forgive my example) you wrote: put your faeture together hownever you please. Reading this and wanting to correct it I know at one glance that the corrector wi...

Re: Macro for fast spell correcting

Reading your "out of luck" I could maybe restate what I think would be a great feature: To do in spell checking what Google does with it's "I feel lucky" mode: Make waht is most probable a first choice. If you have _not_ been lucky just go back and try in normal mode. That would ...

Macro for fast spell correcting

There was a slight modification for Spellchecking in Nisus Pro 1.3 The Menu „Correct Next spelling“ now produces a mini window with alternative spellings. Manually pressing the down arrow key selects the first alternative spelly, mostly the one we need, which must then be confirmed with return. Can ...

Sorry, I don't quite understand the procedure for this:
