Wish: Spell-checker retains on/off toggle between instances
Last modified: 2019-03-23 20:47:13 UTC
It would be nice to have the Autocheck Spelling option remember whether it was on or off, rather than having to activate it manually every time I use gedit. Other information:

This is now remembered per document. We think this is the best way to manage this option so I'm closing this as WONTFIX.
Is it possible to enable spell-check by default ?
you have to enable it per document, so no there is not such option.
Why is not allowing enabling it by default considered "the best way to manage" the option?
The main reason for this is that we cannot have happy all our users, so we decided to choose the one that we considered better. Remember the spelling per document instead of globally. Anyway I gonna discuss about this again, because maybe we can add something like that.
IMHO, the best option is to enable spell check by default and add an option to disable it per document.
