Problem Statement

When using the Claude Code VSCode extension, there's no spell checking available in the input textarea where prompts are written.

Problem:

  • Typos in prompts can lead to miscommunication
  • Users expect spell checking in text input areas
  • The VSCode editor has spell checking via extensions, but webview inputs don't benefit from this

Proposed Solution

Add spellcheck="true" attribute to the textarea/input element in the extension's webview. Since VSCode runs on Electron 8+, the built-in Chromium spellchecker should work automatically once enabled.

Expected Behavior:

  • Misspelled words show red/squiggly underlines
  • Right-click provides spelling suggestions
  • Respects system language settings
