Based on my limited knowledge and the lack of response to the following thread,
http://community.slickedit.com/index.php?topic=3341.0, I believe the answer is no.
SE does so much other stuff in the background and, since almost all of most anyone's code would fail a normal spell check, it seems of limited utility (unless you are using it to edit plain text files, perhaps). I'd rather have SE keeping up with syntax coloring, tagging, and all the stuff it really excels at -- IMHO
. Real time checking would, likely, add more timer events and slow down normal editing.
You can always go to Tools > Spell Check and choose what parts of your code you want checked (Comments&Strings, current word, selection, multiple files, ...). Of course you have to remember to do it. Maybe an option to run a spell check at save (similar to a lot of e-mail programs) would be useful (allowing options of what parts of the code to check).
