[FR] [Paid] Spell Check in Page Editor

[artofthesmart]

Right now the admin plugin uses a WYSIWYG editor for pages, but it doesn't allow the browser's native spell-checker to work properly. Leaves you in a bit of a lurch.

Would be nice to alter the editor to allow that to work properly.

It's a limitation of the editor we use (CodeMirror), as it's not using a standard HTML field that supports spell check, and a JS solution would require a HUGE dictionary database in potentially every language.

[rhukster]

BTW, this could be solved with an alternate editor.

Can we disable the wysiwyg editor? I'd take a spell check over wysiwyg any day.

[artofthesmart]

I've had some success with just editing stuff directly in -gulp- SSH. Vim has spellcheck that does well enough and I've been meaning to learn how to use it. ;)

Would this plugin be reasonable to use?

Has anyone managed to integrate this plugin with Grav? If so, any tips on how to do this?

[RomainLWiz]

Do you have any news or have you started the project since the last return ?

[artofthesmart]

I feel like it would probably be done as a build of CM with the spell checker included, and that comes with all the same baggage as other Grav includes (e.g. security reviews). There's also the matter of size: the owner of CM didn't want to bundle the spellcheck by default because it's so large (sauce). Typo.js (and the CM Spell Checker link above) add ~750kb and that's just for en-us. Not commenting if that's a sufficient reason not to do it, just relaying info into this thread. :)

EDIT: Now that I look, the size issue was raised in 2013, so...maybe things've changed since then?

What one has managed to implement ?

[Rolf-Smit]

So what I did to "solve" the problem, was to add: 'spellcheck': 'true', 'inputStyle': 'contenteditable', to user/plugins/admin/themes/grav/templates/forms/fields/codemirror/codemirror.html.twig and to user/plugins/admin/themes/grav/templates/forms/fields/editor/editor.html.twig and on at least Firefox this works perfectly (at least for my needs). I'm not a website guru, so don't take my word for it. But it seems to be working fine, something to consider to implement in the next version of Admin?
