I'd like to enebale spell cheching for the editor.
Since my Mac does pretty good spell checking by its own I am thinking about using Native Browser Spell Checker
What are the pro an cons?

How did you enable spell check?

Answer to myself:

I was able to activate the macos spell checker by right clicking in the editor field via the context menu

And how did you do this?

Its usually (these days at least) built into the browser or available as an add-on. I remember years back there was something you could add to php to do it (phpspell?) , I'm not really aware if that is still used/updated given modern browsers abilities.

See attached pic of part of my reply anyway.

What browser are you using ? There should be something to enable spell checking with it I'd expect. Here is the Firefox one:

Typo ​😆

Tagging on to this discussion, I have come across a possible way to enable spell checker natively in ck editor, but I am not sure where to find this at, I am hunting and pecking now to find where the file is in order to make this change and see if it works.

Here is the link https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/guide/dev_spellcheck.html

What I need to do is change from true to false by

config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;

 

Update

line 364 in applications/core/interface/ckeditor/ckeditor.js looked promising, I made the suggested change but I did not notice any difference as I typed mispelled words in my editor.  I disabled spell check in Firefox and as I typed the redline did not appear as seemed promising by the above change. But it's a starting point.

If you right click, you can usually enable or disable spell check in your browser (independent of any spellcheck functionality the editor itself may support).

My thoughts on this is its best to allow the browser spell check to deal with it usually, as nearly all browsers will have something available in a variety of languages to suit and it likely means they will probably be updated more frequently than the editor.

Have a vague recollection of php_spell module too but I've not even looked to see if that still exists.
