Enable Spell-check

[Jos512]

This is a good idea, but besides simply enabling spell-check we also need the option to choose and switch dictionaries. Preferably that setting is remembered per Gingko tree (.gko file).

In my case, for instance, I have trees in English and in my native language.

Agreed. And in general, I want to make Gingko multi-lingual, including translations in as many languages as we can support... (but that's a separete issue).

Since this is written in Electron, which uses a Chrome wrapper, it's possible to use a spell-checker just like the one available in the Chrome browser.

These would be two possible starting points for this:

• https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-spellchecker

In V1 online, I enjoy the smooth integration of Grammarly extension on Chrome browser for spelling check. As a heavy user of Grammarly, I appreciate similar functionality could be implemented in the Desktop version as well.

Currently there seems to be a spell checker enabled (probably built-in Chromium/Electron one) when editing and I am not able to disable it:

My system uses English, but I write in German most of the time. An option to switch this off would be very much appreciated, as the markings distract from the text pretty much.

Same problem here, I use an English interface but write in French, and red wiggles are very annoying.

How do we get rid of that?
