Spell check as you type
Submitted by on Friday, 18 February, 2005 - 19:06
Hi,
From what I can see, spell check is supported, but not as you type. Some editors support the ability to underline words as you type. It would be fantastic if JEdit can do that. I can imagine many users will be using JEdit to write Java code, for example, so this might not seem as important. However, I use JEdit to write XHTML and so having spell checking for content would be really good.
If it is to supported, I would guess that it should be configurable as to what types of content to spell check, e.g. comments in code would be useful.
The key thing is that it should be spell checking _as you type_
If this already exists, please let me know where it is, and apologies for posting!
