Activate Spell Checking

By default, CodeMirror disables spellchecking. For a blog editor, I think it could be nice to enable it:

From http://codemirror.net/1/manual.html

Should the editor disable spell-checking on browsers that support it (Firefox 2+).
Default is true, since for most code spell-checking is useless. Can be changed with the setSpellCheck(on) method.

A CodeMirror instance is, as far as the browser is concerned, not an editable control, so it won't apply spell checking to it.

This has been discussed a few times already; the browser's spellchecker implementations don't work with CodeMirror.

This is a duplicate of #1240, which was closed as spell checking is not an option with CodeMirror and our current editor implementation. The option you linked to is from the documentation for CodeMirror 1 I believe, we are using CodeMirror 3.

It will be possible to add spell checking via an App

#9311 should solve this.
