How do I use spell checking?::
Qutebrowser's support for spell checking is somewhat limited at the moment
(see https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/700[#700]), but it
can be done.
+
For QtWebKit:
. Install https://github.com/QupZilla/qtwebkit-plugins[qtwebkit-plugins].
. Note: with QtWebKit reloaded you may experience some issues. See
https://github.com/QupZilla/qtwebkit-plugins/issues/10[#10].
. The dictionary to use is taken from the `DICTIONARY` environment variable.
The default is `en_US`. For example to use Dutch spell check set `DICTIONARY`
to `nl_NL`; you can't use multiple dictionaries or change them at runtime at
the moment.
(also see the README file for `qtwebkit-plugins`).
. Remember to install the hunspell dictionaries if you don't have them already
(most distros should have packages for this).
+
For QtWebEngine:
. Not yet supported unfortunately :-( +
Adding it shouldn't be too hard though, since QtWebEngine 5.8 added an API for
this (see
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/700#issuecomment-290780706[this
comment for a basic example]), so what are you waiting for and why aren't you
hacking qutebrowser yet?
