Use scope selectors

Opened this issue 11 years ago · 7 comments

Using scope selectors instead of just grammar names to enable spell check would make atom/atom#517 fixable.

I have no idea what atom/atom#517 says, but would this allow to spell check source code comments? If so, big 👍 from my end.

👍 if this means atom will be able to spell check variables and such

Answer 3 · 2014-04-02T20:27:16.000Z

👍 I suck at spelling. I need the help.

@rkh @smazurov This would make the scopes spell checked definable by you, as opposed to all or nothing based on the buffer's language.

Personally my interest (and that in #517) is to not spell-check code regions in markdown files - presently motivated by my BE spell-check not liking the AE Java synchronized!

But similarly you could enable only for comment regions in source code files.

@kevinsawicki Did you ever revisit this? Is it stale because it's a mammoth task, or due to lack of interest?

FWIW, a good markdown spellchecker (that doesn't spellcheck code inside tick marks) is the number one feature I'm looking for in a text editor.

this feature is essential for Markdown. I need a way to spell check the main text. I want the spell check to ignore stuff in links or front-matter or backticks or code blocks.
