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?

This applies to the Win version as well. – Almo Mar 19 '15 at 19:54 — Almo, Mar 19 '15 at 19:54

Follow :

File >> Settings >> Editor >> Inspections >> Proofreading >> Typo

-> Uncheck the options that you want to disable.

Android Studio 1.0.2: File>>Settings>>Inspections>>Spelling>>Typo but File>>Settings and search "spelling" is better! :) – Evilripper Feb 13 '15 at 16:54
Just to be clear, the options you can disable will be in the right-hand column after you click on "Typo". Checking the "Typo" checkbox disables them all. – Noumenon May 09 '16 at 22:36

Another important setting: File >> Settings >> Version Control >> Commit Dialog >> Spelling. – Gogowitsch Aug 11 '17 at 09:42
Using this answer, and selecting "Default IDE" profile in the top of the setting popup will store this setting globally (for all your projects). Then you will be happy. – Mat Mar 22 '18 at 17:27
Is there any way to disable spell check for specific language only? – zur4ik Jun 17 '20 at 14:16
For me (v2020.3.2 on macOS) this is under `Preferences => Editor => Inspections => Proofreading => *` ... uncheck Boxes as needed. – Rocco Feb 26 '21 at 14:02
Updated response Spelling was changed to Proofreading – Mike Sep 22 '21 at 17:12
Quicker to just search for "Proofreading" in settings rather than navigating the tree. – Steve Chambers Dec 08 '21 at 09:31

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:

Disable spell checking entirely, or
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.

You might add how to disable for the current js file: `// noinspection SpellCheckingInspection` (see [supress-spellchecker](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/spellchecking.html#supress-spellchecker)), and `` for HTML (That was not exactly the question, but I laded here when searching). — kca, Mar 07 '23 at 17:31

They need to introduce @spellcheck:off like the formatter.

For Android Studio, I found "Inspections" directly under "Project Settings," and not under "IDE Settings/Editor".

If you want to suppress in a file, you can use comment in file like  in html.

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".

I have just find out that the typo inspection feature is provided by the Grazie plugin, which comes pre-installed in IntelliJ. You can just disable displugin in the setting and all typo inspection feature will no longer be available.
