Spellcheck #101

Open LSeelig opened 2 months ago

LSeelig commented 2 months ago

This might be out of scope. If it is feasible to include, I would suggest it does not appear at all in the app's interface unless enabled in preferences, and if it is enabled, it should be inactive unless toggled for a specific page or notebook.

I have started looking at integrating a spell checker, it looks like there is a way to do it, but it's low on the priority list at this time.

I could see a global disable/enable option in preferences, but going down to the notebook/note level seems excessive.

That's understandable. If I'm writing something that needs to be spellchecked, it's probably not in my notebook. Just wanted to put it out as a long term goal for other uses/users.

I love using Folio for small notes, but I have dyslexia, and spellcheck is an essential accessibility feature for me. I want to use it as my default Markdown editor for longer texts, but I'll have to wait for that feature. Great app though.

You can check how Tuba does it using libspelling. It works great there.

@LukaszH77 Tuba doesn't use the sourceview control that we are so no real help there.
