I have had a look at nano. One problem is that it uses a US dictionary for its spell checker, which is no use to me.

I do need to use a text editor quite often, and I have used gedit for some time now. Unfortunately it has changed quite a lot recently and I am not very happy with the current way it looks and works.So I am asking for some suggestions for a replacement please. I have been look around the internet and, as usual, have finished up very confused.Please though, do not suggest vi or vim.OK. Emacs is it, then.I have considered kate, but that is really for KDE and I am using MX Linux which is based on Debian. I have also looked at jedit, but that is much too involved for what I want, just a simple text editor, with a spell check.Why have an editor encumbered with a built-in spell chequer? What about one that can call one (of a number) or spiel checkers?Sounds like you want nano. (Ctrl-T invokes the sleep chucker) Gordon
