Abstract
People often mistype words when using keyboards. Word processors commonly feature autocorrection that checks for dictionary-based spelling mistakes and automatically performs text replacement after the user types a word. Programs are mostly described using text, and hence, the programmer may introduce typos when writing program identifiers (or keywords). In this paper, we describe an approach to integrate autocorrection in a projectional editor, capable of fixing program identifier typos. We implemented two modes of autocorrection as an extension of Javardise, one that resembles word processor autocorrection and a more experimental one based on the substitution of individual user keystrokes.
