Disable spell checking on IntelliJ IDEA

Question

I\'m trying to disable spell checking in MacOS\'s IntelliJ IDEA version 8.1.

How can I disable it?

Answer 1

I've put together a "visual solution" here (inspired by a previous solution above/below by @user277236 in this forum!).

In Webstorm you can either:

1. Disable spell checking entirely, or
2. Disable spell checking selectively (e.g. just the code), but enable for some others (e.g. comments).

I'm on MacOS Webstorm (version 2016.1.2). First thing first, go to the "Inspection" pane like this...

Webstorm -> Preferences -> search for "Inspections" 

or...

Webstorm -> Preferences -> Editor -> Inspections

Within the Inspection search box, search "Spelling".

Option 1 - Disable spell-checking entirely

Option 2 - Disable spell-checking selectively

I've gone for option 2 myself. This seems to work for me so far.

Answer 2

If you want to suppress in a file, you can use comment in file like <!--suppress SpellCheckingInspection --> in html.

Answer 3

For 12.1.6 on OSX:

Preferences->Inspections->Spelling

Answer 4

update for 2020

File >> Settings >> Editor >> Inspections >> Proofreading (uncheck all)

Answer 5

On Android Studio version 1.1 on Mac setting off Spelling from File menu does not work.

Set spelling from Android Studio > Preferences > Inspections.

Uncheck Typo and uncheck Spelling located in the first group of options "Project Settings".

Answer 6

Use the annotation for the class / method / field

@SuppressWarnings("SpellCheckingInspection")
