gedit highlight misspelled words for every document by default

  • 772

Every time I open documents and for every new documents I have to re-enable the spell-checker in gedit.

How can I toggle it to always be on for every document?

gedit

  1. No it can not be set as default.

    That does not rule out that someone who knows how to decompile, reprogram and recompile the spell checker plugin for gedit can't make a setting for it, it is open source.

    @NIMISHAN: Enchant is a dictionary, and is not responsible for spell checking, nor part of any program. Programs can use it. Even the spell checker in gedit is not part of gedit, just a plugin, plugged into gedit.

  2. This is possible in gedit as of 3.38.2:

    Got to Preferences -> Plugins -> Spellchecker -> Preferences and tick "Highlight Missepelled words".
