Boring I know, but oh so useful…it cant surely be that hard to include? Cheers rabbit

Having never looked into it, I don’t know what it takes to implement spell checking. And given that our UI is written in at least four different programming languages, I’m concerned that getting spell check “everywhere” could be very time consuming.
