Visual Studio extension #2617

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We use cSpell for both Visual Studio Code and in CIs, but many of our devs also use Visual Studio. We'd love to consolidate on a single spell checker.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to see an extension for Visual Studio that used the cspell library. I've already started looking to prototype this if you'd be interested. Visual Studio does install node, so I was considering RPC'ing to the cspell library so all the same config, dictionaries, word breaking, etc. works consistently.

If I wrote a prototype, would be interested in supporting it within your org alongside the VSCode extension? Or have you considered this before and decided against it for other reasons? I'm happy to get a min viable product ready and even help maintain it, but would prefer not being a sole maintainer going forward.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We've looked at a couple other spell checking extensions for VS, but they are not compatible with cspell, which we've already taken a dependency on across much of our org's repos.

Edit: nevermind, see that you mean the full VS

@heaths,

Thank you. I had not thought about creating an extension for Visual Studio. Let's take this offline. You can reach me at jason @ streetsidesoftware.nl. I'm planning on being in Seattle in May.
