In tcsh, how do I disable spelling correction of my command?

Question

Recently, when we updated our OS, we got a new tcsh feature enabled by default. Whenever I type a command that tcsh doesn't recognize, I get an annoying spelling correction like:

% cats

CORRECT>cast (y|n|e|a)?

I want to disable this feature and allow misspellings to error out like:

% cats
cats: Command not found.

Is my enter key somehow getting re-bound? What could be causing this?

Answer 1

I had this same problem. You want to add

set correct=command

to your .cshrc. This will allow commands to be completed, but not corrected.
