Identifying and using textual widgets

A system for accessing textual widgets, comprising:

• at least one computer hardware device for performing a method, the method comprising:
• invoking a spell-checker to check a spelling of a string expression, wherein the string expression includes one of a predefined prefix, a predefined suffix or a predefined formula;
• marking the string expression as misspelled based upon the predefined prefix, the predefined suffix or the predefined formula;
• executing one of a plurality of textual widgets for performing a non-spellchecking function, wherein the executed textual widget is associated with the string expression via the predefined prefix, the predefined suffix or the predefined formula, and wherein each different textual widget performs a different function/operation upon the marked string expression;
• returning at least one result of the non-spellchecking function;
• and
• displaying the at least one result.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, which when executed, accesses textual widgets, the computer readable medium comprising program code for:

• invoking a spell-checker to check a spelling of a string expression, wherein the string expression includes one of a predefined prefix, a predefined suffix or a predefined formula;
• marking the string expression as misspelled based upon the predefined prefix, the predefined suffix or the predefined formula;
• executing one of a plurality of textual widgets for performing a non-spellchecking function, wherein the executed textual widget is associated with the string expression via the predefined prefix, the predefined suffix or the predefined formula, and wherein each different textual widget performs a different function/operation upon the marked string expression;
• returning at least one result of the non-spellchecking function;
• and
• displaying the at least one result.

A method for deploying an application for accessing textual widgets, comprising:

• providing a computer infrastructure being operable to:
• invoke a spell-checker to check a spelling of a string expression, wherein the string expression includes one of a predefined prefix, a predefined suffix or a predefined formula;
• mark the string expression as misspelled based upon the predefined prefix, the predefined suffix or the predefined formula;
• execute one of a plurality of textual widgets for performing a non-spellchecking function, wherein the executed textual widget is associated with the string expression via the predefined prefix, the predefined suffix or the predefined formula, and wherein each different textual widget performs a different function/operation upon the marked string expression;
• returning at least one result of the non-spellchecking function;
• and
• displaying the at least one result.
