Set the minimum repetition count from 3 to 2 or make it configurable
I like the repetition count in Marked, but it's useless for me as it only finds three or more repetitions. I also need marks for two repetitions to see if words are used twice in a paragraph.
Example
We will include our comments once we have gathered all the relevant information. We will send the final report as soon as it is finished.
Further ideas
It would also be nice to have a third mode in addition to document or paragraph. Repetitions are most annoying when they are near by. So a near-by-mode would be useful. Think of a repetition within the prepending and following 100 words.
I hope you understand my idea.
With kind regards,
Tekl

I'm willing to make it configurable between 2 and 4 or 5. That's not difficult.
"Nearby" repetition would be a lot more intensive for processing as it would mean constant buffering and overlapping of strings. I'll test implementing it, but paragraph scope already takes over a minute on medium size documents, it might just be too slow to be practical.

Thanks for improving this. It's still buggy.
Try this text and add the Word "Maecenas" behind "Aliquam". Nothing will be highlight in this paragraph anymore. Also the word "consectetur" will never be highlighted.

Ok, so the Maecenas Aliquam issue is because I had it set to ignore proper names, which that was recognized as. I removed that restriction for now, will test further.
"consectetur" is recognized by NSLinguisticTagger as a preposition, which I'm definitely ignoring. In normal English usage, this isn't going to be an issue. It would be horrible if every "the" in the text was a repeat.

Ah, thanks for clarification. Do you have plans to use NSLinguisticTagger like in Writer Pro?
