try vscode they said, it’s the best code editor ever they said… what kind of warped sadist puts fucking spell check…
You must log in or # to comment.
Why do you think this is spell check and not syntax checking?
The tab shows as unsaved up at the top and there is a JS next to that, which probably means it’s trying to parse that as JavaScript. Just save the file with an appropriate extension (maybe .txt or .md) or you can (I think) also manually set that behavior.
Yeah this is why. What you can also do is click the language in the status bar at the bottom right to switch language without having to save it to a file.
Ctrl-K then M
That opens explorer for me. Ctrl-K -> M changes the language.
Oh shit, you’re right, sorry, I corrected my comment.
I don’t think it’s spell check. For whatever reason, VSCode decided that you’re writing JS code and is trying to point out syntax errors. There should be some way to change the file type (open the command palette and look for “file type”, I suppose)
Can usually use the command palette to explicitly create a new file of type “x” too I believe (assuming you have the extension installed, python, etc)
…how? I actively tried to get spell check in vscode for editing markdown and couldn’t.

I’ve been using Zed for a while now. It’s decent.
Why does it recognize that file as js?
The ‘untitled’ heading makes me think that’s an unsaved file - I think it only has spell check in non-syntaxed unsaved files. It’s been years since I used it but I never had it yelling at me in regular code 🤔

Ew. Is that a text editor? (I use KDE and that kind of UI WTF would irritate the hell out of me enough to switch, too! I don’t use kate, though, if that’s what that is.)
OP is using the high contrast theme, don’t blame that on the editor
