Disable browsers' (native) spell checker in CKEditor

Attaching patch for disable the spellchecker for ckeditor.

mehul.gada → made their first commit to this issue’s fork.

Hi @phpsubbarao,

Sorry, I opened MR, instead of updating the patch. The automated test was failing as it was expecting ckeditor config for spellcheck to be FALSE. I have updated the test case and raised MR for the same.

The issue summary could use an update. It mentions Drupal 8 and the ability to toggle off and on. But the patches and MR just turn it ON. Have you looked into https://www.drupal.org/project/ckeditor_config → ?

Will also need a test case to show what is being solved exactly.

Yeah I don't really follow what's being asked here. It seems that the native spellcheck is already enabled in the plugin configuration. But you say "But right now in D8 you can type in all kinds of garbage and there are no indications that you're spelling something wrong.". Why? If we are telling CKE to keep native spellchecking available, why doesn't it work?

There's also #2307141: Enable browsers' (native) spell checker in CKEditor → which has an identical issue summary but the titles are opposite? So confusing.

The MR here is for 9.5.x and CKEditor4, which is removed from core.

Is this still valid to the currently supported version of CKEditor?

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, I am setting the status to Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!

I believe this one can be closed as outdated. Ckeditor5 does appear to have a spellcheck plugin https://ckeditor.com/spellchecker/ but its behind their premium feature pack. Which I don't think core is buying a license for.
