Description Roger Larsson 2004-05-04 01:01:00 UTC

Version:           2.2 (using KDE 3.2.90 (CVS >= 20040117), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-202-athlon

kate (kdevelop) can spellcheck source files - great.

But it could limit it self to comments and string constants (two options?) - statements are syntax and spell checked on compilation :-)

I would like this very much too. Letting the spellcheck run over a whole source file is not much fun.

This is on my list of stuff i want to implement. It will be based on the 
syntax highlight system, we can query the syntax context to find strings that 
are interresting to spellcheck. The syntax files can contain a list of 
contexts, or it can be provided by the user.

I support this request.

Comment 5 uetsah 2009-12-12 13:20:03 UTC

Is this functionality still being considered?

Btw, Bug 47065 is equivalent to this, only targeted at KDevelop specifically.

Comment 6 Milian Wolff 2010-07-09 21:11:40 UTC

In cpp at least only string contents and comments are checked. If you have a language that does not honor these settings, please report a new bug for that, closing this one.
