This is an intentional friendly ping duplicate of #431, which has apparently fallen through through the cracks into the depths unimaginable.
The configuration guide refers to "document types" for which the extension is enabled, and by default includes some, but what exactly can be added into this list is a riddle wrapped in a taco inside a completely dark room with a black cat who isn't also in fact in there...
As documented,
"spellright.documentTypes": [ "plaintext", "markdown", "latex" ]
Document types for which spelling will be turned ON by default.
There is also a wonderful command
SpellRight: Turn OFF for Current Document Type
Turn spelling OFF for currently open document type.
...but, very unfortunately, not a counterpart to turn it ON for the current document type, so it's a one-way Culling Street.
Won't you please document this setting for the rest of us, unfamiliar with VSCode innards, will you? It really prevents me from... sigh, basically, using the extension. I'm mainly a C++ hard-case, but wanting of the spellchecking function in Makefile and CMakeFile.txt scripts. I write many supplementary Bash and Perl scripts. What are the language IDs for these types? And last but not the least, I'm also using Jupyter notebooks in VSCode, with Python backend, for ML; it would be blinding indeed if all that I had needed were the magic single-word spell I could add to this list.
