HI
Is there a way to underline in red misspelt words on the command line as you type them? Would it be able to popup the spell checker on a mouseover? The ctrl+j spell checking method is very cumbersome, I have spent a lot of time looking for a way to get 'underlined spelling mistakes' on the command line.

The best would be if an external spelling and grammar checking app could somehow read the mushclient command line, as it is both spell checker and a grammar checker.

Any chance anyone left here be able to help out?

Thanks in advance

Mouseover of what?

What if you run the SpellCheckCommand function automatically using the OnPluginCommandEntered callback?

If an external tool has an API for passing in text and getting back corrected results, then you can do that using OnPluginCommandEntered.

On the Configuration dialog -> Commands there is an option "Spell Check On Send". If you check that then your input is spell checked before being sent to the MUD.

I think someone wrote a plugin ages ago that did red underlines under misspelt words, however I can't find any trace of it. You aren't the first to ask about it.
