Describe your feature request
I want spell check for print functions. Repl already recognizes what each function is, so you would just have to add a spell check feature.
What problem(s) would this feature solve?
Having to put everything into google to check the spelling.
Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this feature request
I was making my senior project and I had knew that I had spelled something wrong but could not remember the correct spelling, but it did not care.

You mean you want Replit to spellcheck everything in the quotation marks? Every string? Or the functions themselves?

They want replit to allow spellchecking ONLY on the text inside of the print statement. (Which sounds like a nightmare to make honestly)

I just realized that this wouldn’t be effective even if it worked. Often, variables are used inside of print statements. These variables are probably strings (that or numbers). So, you would have to spell check all the strings too. This would necessitate the use of a far more complex program.

And this doesn’t account for when you intentionally misspell something (I do on rare occasion in my programs).

I want it to spellcheck what is in the “”, not the (). Spellcheck, not auto correct

No one said you wanted what was in the parentheses and no one said anything about auto correct.

See the thing is, you’re assuming you’re only ever going to be writing proper full sentences in print statements, but you’re not necessarily. And how would spellcheck work with weird escape codes and whatnot?

What? I use \033c in normal conversation all the time? Don’t you?

This is a code editor, I don’t think it’s supposed to be able to do it.

Perhaps a system similar to that on IntelliJ. It is able to automatically detect where you are writing full English and where you are not.
The most I think that replit would do is add grammar like in a textbox where it underlines text that is spelled wrong. However, if you want something right away, here are 3 solutions:
- Learn to type. Bruh, if you really have so much problem spelling, then learn ur words better.
- Write your own spell check function then do this
print(spellcheck("mystring")). - Use an already existing spellcheck function from a library.

@QwertyQwerty88 @Firepup650 @CoderElijah @MattDESTROYER @jellyfish69420 I think you can create an extension (not that I know how to do that)
Yes I’m sure that our combined might could create an extension, but I am not interested.
I also have no particular interest in creating such an extension, mainly for the technical issues I mentioned earlier on in this thread.
