Check text with the Ctrl+C+C shortcut

Ctrl+C+C works in any app where you can select and copy text, including apps where the floating G doesn't appear.

To check text with the shortcut

  1. Select the text you want to check, with the mouse or the keyboard.
  2. Hold Ctrl and press C twice quickly.
  3. Ginger opens with your text and its corrections.
  4. Click Replace to put the corrected text back, or use any of the other options.

Good to know

  • By default, Ginger opens as a mini-window on top of the app you're using. You can choose to open the full app instead (see Customize Ginger).
     
  • Ctrl+C+C also copies your selected text to the clipboard, just like Ctrl+C.
     
  • You can change the shortcut to another key combination in Settings. The old shortcut stops working once you change it.
     
  • To check a whole document, press Ctrl+A to select everything, then Ctrl+C+C. Ginger checks up to [6,000] characters at a time.
