totally disable spellcheck
Is there a way to completely/totally/absolutely disable spell checking ?
errr ... what on earth is your spell checker kicking in the commit window ? note the politeness of this comment
I actually believe that spell checking should ENTIRELY be encapsulated in a plugin (which I would never activate, hoping that Jetbrains dont load the classes and clutter idiotically every keystroke with asinine useless processing)
Do you have an egg in there which could allow me to get rid of this (costly) nuisance ?

I just installed PhpStorm again after a few years and spent almost half an hour searching for "spell," "typo," etc., and disabled everything I could find. Yet that monstrosity still kept underlining my commit messages. OMG, it’s hidden in some secret setting that search can’t even find. Please add an option to disable it everywhere with a single setting. This should really be a plugin that can be easily uninstalled — it’s completely absurd to deal with grammar inside code.
btw. CTRL+V doesnt work in your comment form, i had to paste it using burpsuite lol (using translator)
For the Commit Message, spellcheck can be disabled in Settings | Version Control | Commit > under the Commit message inspections field.
Also, it is possible to manage Proofreading inspections in the Settings | Editor | Inspections menu.
Spell check is absolutely the worst thing in a development platform. LOL. You're seriously going to spell check variable names? I've spent YEARS constantly disabling this “feature”. I spend hundreds of dollars a year on Jetbrains products. I cannot believe this is STILL a thing. STOP already. You folks think that it's just a one and done disable of a settings but you don't realize that a lot of people develop on multiple computers and often reinstall their OS fairly often. We're developers - our environments are very dynamic.
Admit proofreading is just a silly, dumb feature and get rid of it already or disable it by default. Listen to your users.
Emkeyser Thanks for the feedback. I agree that spell check may not work well in some cases, especially with variable names, but we still find it useful for some users to fix typos in variables and other situations. Could you please share examples where spell check performs poorly with variable names, so we can improve the algorithm to avoid showing warnings in these cases?
If you frequently work on multiple computers or often reinstall the OS/IDE, you can also try enabling the IDE Settings Sync feature, which can synchronize your settings across multiple operating systems and IDE instances (e.g., automatically disabling spell check in these IDE instances).
Why are there profiles like “Project” and “Default”. When disabling proofreading in the “Default” settings every upcoming new project will nevertheless have proofreading enabled again.
You are really destroying the brains of developers. We don't want your slop, I don't care about typos and grammer and proofreading. I dont want ANY EXTERNAL SERVICE READING MY INPUT. This should be the default.
And when applying this so called “Default” in WebStorm for instance, this does not have ANY EFFECT. I have to re-disable all your slop every single time.
Take this serious, nobody wants this! Show me a way to DISABLE THIS FOREVER!
Michael C could you try disabling the Natural Languages plugin via Settings | Plugins → Installed?
After restarting the IDE, this should remove the entire Proofreading section under Settings | Editor | Inspections and stop typo/grammar highlighting.
That spell check is really an annoying thing. With every project it turns itself on again. It’s not true that users “want” it — it’s just difficult to keep turning it off over and over when the setting is hidden in several different places. There’s only one way to show dissatisfaction here — I’ve canceled my PhpStorm subscription.
Martin Martyd, if you disable the Natural Languages plugin, it will remain disabled for all new projects.
