Features

  • Open spelling menu: Opens a menu with spelling suggestions for the nearest misspelled word. Press the hotkey again to cycle through other misspelled words on the line
  • Custom dictionary: Add words to a custom dictionary through settings or directly from the spelling menu

Usage

Setup

  1. Go to Settings > Hotkeys
  2. Search for "Select Spell Check"
  3. Assign hotkeys to:
    • "Accept top spelling suggestion"
    • "Open spelling menu"

Realistically, it's not as accurate as the native Obsidian spell-check, but it's much faster, and works ~90% of the time.
