Settings:Spell checker:Miscellaneous

The Spell checker » Filters branch of Settings allows you to configure various options used for spell checking.

Enable spell check as you type

If this option is selected spell checking will occur automatically as text is typed. Unrecognized / misspelled words will be indicated by a dashed red underline beneath the word (as is common in other applications). Note: By default UltraEdit / UEStudio will not apply this to syntax highlighted files. To change this setting and support spell check as you type for a syntax highlighted file, add the following to the language definition line (e.g., /L3"HTML" ...) of the wordfile: EnableSpellasYouType.

Note: Enabling spell check as you type may cause performance degradation when loading larger files.

Display suggestions on right mouse click over misspelled word

If this option is selected when Enable spell check as you type is enabled, right-clicking on a word indicated as misspelled will result in a list of possible spelling options. If you prefer, check the option Only if CTRL to display the list of suggestions only upon Ctrl + Right click. You can also specify a maximum number of suggestions to be displayed using the Display suggestions (max) control. Set to "-1" to display all available suggestions.

Exclude from checking words shorter than X characters

Any word less than the numeric value specified here (from 1 to 9) will not be spell checked.
