No spell checker :-(

It would be nice to have a spell checker integrated into the app. Kind of important with an e-mail client. See: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-spellchecker

Thanks for the advice :) I'll have a look see if it's possible to integrate the tools in.

@dcioccarelli thanks for this suggestion.

it's been implemented here

eNkru commented

The spell checker is enabled 5 seconds after the window loaded. Assume you won't write anything in the first 5 seconds :)

Excellent! Working as expected. Thanks a lot!

Hi. That's great but do you plan to add other languages or only US English?

Other languages can be supported. This is just a quick add for the request. Need to think how to configure the language, maybe in settings. The spellchecker can automatically detect the type in language and switch on the fly, but setting the default language has much better result.

What language do you need to support? I'd like to get a list.

Cool, thanks. I think having the option would greatly benefit the software. I write mainly in UK English and sometimes in Greek, but I'm sure you will find people who write with different languages.

Spell checker suggestions from context menu did not work for me. I fixed it in my fork. See last commit in following branch:
