GUI: Spell check #185

Open jzbz opened 1 year ago

jzbz commented 1 year ago

So it turns out I can't spell to save my life, and I'll keep making atrocious mistakes until bruig has a spell checker built in.

spellcheck

today there are 2 (not great) options for spellcheck in flutter:

languagetool which sends all your input to a remote service
spell_check_on_client which uses a fixed word list and has few languages

none of these are great options for BR

the right way to do it would be to offload spellcheck to the OS, but that will require writing a plugin from scratch

would option #2 be acceptable enough (#1 is obviously not)?

jzbz commented 2 months ago

I'd say #2 seems better than nothing for now. Given the increasing popularity of Flutter I expect someone will create a plugin to let the OS do the work eventually.
