Sublime Text - spell check but only certain file extensions

There's no point of enabling spell check for your html/js/css/c/php/py/etc files, but it can be very useful when you are writing in Markdown.

How to enable spell check only for only certain file extensions?

Solution

  • You can add a syntax specific setting:

    1. Open a file with the syntax for which you want to enable spell-check (such as markdown in your case).

    2. Open menu Settings… -> Settings - Syntax Specific.

    3. This file should contain a JSON object. Add the key/value pair: { "spell_check": true } (or false for the reverse effect).

    4. Save and close this file.
