Spell checking of comments

[ahaeger]

I usually write todos to myself, something like

% TODO Baltrunas' ideas should be explored further.

The spell checker then complains on the words "TODO" and "Baltrunas'" (which is a surname). I see the point in spell checking comments, but in this case it also kind of annoying. Maybe one should be able to turn spell checking for comments on and off?

Do you have language-todo enabled?

[ahaeger]

Yes, not entirely sure what it does though. From what I can tell by disabling/enabling, it seems like it only highlights the "TODO" part.

[yitzchak]

You are correct, it just highlights TODO and various other keywords in comments. I added the scopes that are used by language-todo in AtomLinter/linter-spell@fa6073e so at least those will not be spell checked. I'll push out a patch release in a bit.

[yitzchak]

The patch to ignore language-todo scopes just got pushed out in linter-spell v0.9.2

I am still thinking about how to make spell checking in comments a configuration option.

[yitzchak]

Added a configuration option to control spell checking in comments. You will need to upgrade to linter-spell v0.10.0 and linter-spell-latex v0.8.0

[ahaeger]

I think that will solve this issue for most users.

Awesome work, keep it up!
