    The #1 feature I'd love to see in Notepad++

    Preferably built-in, but a plugin would do I suppose.

      In syntax highlighted files you can simply lex the string sections and comment sections. With those strings, split them by whitespace and punctuation and do a simple grep against a dictionary.

      It has no spellcheck and currently there is also no plugin available. But it's planed.

      Best Regards

      What would a spellchecker actually check? Just the text that isn't highlighted syntax? If it checks the the highlighted things, too, a spellchecker could get annoying really fast for non-English languages.

      I would love it too.

      In syntax highlighted files it could check only in the STRING and COMMENT sections.

    How do I disable spell check of a document? In particular I have file of all my login ids and passwords (and don't tell me I shouldn't have such a file!) and most of my entries are redlined.

      Plugins -> DSpellcheck -> Spell check document automatically.

    You also have an option to check only a certain type of file.
