Description

I'd like to:

  • Choose a default spell-checker in preferences.
  • Mark a subset available spell-checkers for on-the-fly text entry selection.
  • Have an icon aside text entry field to select spell-checker language (from subset above) or turn it on-off.
  • Have the spell-checker automatically turned-off on typing some code, > quotes and URI. Have it spell-check on anything else.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate a spell checker library (e.g., enchant) into ScudCloud's message input, add preference dialog for default language, and implement automatic toggling based on text context such as code blocks and quotes.
