Spelling

A remark can be checked against the dictionaries the machine already has. Nothing is shipped or downloaded: this goes through enchant, which is the broker the rest of the desktop's spell checking already goes through, so what a remark is measured against is what you installed — your languages, and the words you have added to them yourself.

spell_check = ["en_US", "ru_RU"]

Empty is off, which is also what a machine with no enchant on it has — opened by name at run time, so a missing one means no check rather than a window that will not start. A tag nothing has a dictionary for is named on stderr along with the ones that do, rather than quietly checking nothing.

The settings window offers this one as a list to pick from rather than a name to type: what it can pick is what enchant reported installed on this machine, which is the only setting whose choices come off the machine rather than out of the program. A tag already written down that this machine has not got is listed anyway and said to be missing, because a file a team shares will name dictionaries not everyone has installed.

A remark about code is mostly not prose, and a check that underlined usize, to_string and main.rs is one nobody leaves switched on. So identifiers, paths, addresses, anything in backticks and anything inside a fenced block are passed over before a dictionary is asked about any of it; what is left is the sentences. A misspelling is tinted in the theme's red where it stands rather than underlined with a wavy line: iced's text box takes a highlighter that hands back a colour and a face, and there is nowhere for the line to come from until it grows one.
