ADCode

Check spelling in comments

Misspelled words in comments get a wavy underline, and the fix is one click away on the lightbulb.

When you would want it

A typo in a comment is the one kind nothing else catches - the compiler does not read comments, the linter does not read them, and reviewers skim them. So it sits there forever.

How to use it, step by step

Off by default.

  1. It only flags words it can name a correction for, so a library, a product, or somebody's name is left alone instead of underlined - which is why it never becomes the noise you switch off.
  2. Code is never checked: an identifier is named, not spelled.

Why this beats the usual way

Other editors give you this through a stack of extensions that each need installing, updating, and reconciling with each other - and half of them reset when a colleague opens the project. ADCode ships these behaviours in the box, on by default, identical on every machine that opens your folder, and each one is a single switch away if you disagree.
