Implemented Add spellcheck="true" to the editor to enable spell checking by default

[Alpha1]

Please add the html attribute spellcheck="true" to the editor text field. This attribute is supported by all browsers. Having spellcheck on will improve the quality of posts. As most people now use mobile devices typing mistakes are easily made. Many people are used to txt spk. Having spell check would be a positive thing.

spellcheck - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN

The spellcheck global attribute is an enumerated attribute that defines whether the element may be checked for spelling errors.

HI,

Where did this end up ?

How do you enable Spell checker by default ?

Thanks.

hmm i could swear this used to be default, seems i imagined that..
or why my browser suddenly switched it off for some reason.....would be nice to force it if possible

The current version of the editor already has spellcheck enabled, I'm not sure if that was the case or not prior to this suggestion being created, possibly not.



If spellcheck is no longer working, then that would be something to do with the browser itself.
