Hi Benno,
Now if I try to spell check an entire file with Nano 8.0, with ^T^T,
I get the following white-on-red error message:
Program 'aspell' complained
Then type ^X (exit from nano). On the terminal should be the complaint
that aspell had.
Good idea! I should have thought of that...
And... this was the winning ticket.
aspell was complaining like this:
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "fr".
It turns out that word lists for aspell have been put in other packages
(here aspell-fr). One of my previous updates to the OS seems to have
upgraded the aspell package and words were nowhere to be found afterward.
Strange. I installed aspell-fr and now all is well.
So, it turns out that this wasn't a question about Nano, after all.
Sorry for the noise, and thanks again Benno.
Sébastien.
