I just realized there is a way for you to check spelling as you type in web forms (on Safari anyway I didn't check any other browser).

Control click and go to spelling and select check as you type. But I wish this feature was permanently set to on. Anyone know how to do this?

:)
 
There has to be a file or hack somewhere that lets you have spelling default to 'as you type'. I love that feature and I NEED it.
 
"Check Spelling as you Type" is an attribute that has to be set in Interface Builder at compile time.

Give this a shot:
1) Select the application you want to modify.
2) Control-click: Show Package Contents
3) <appname>/Contents/Resources/{language}.lbproj (or .bproj)
4) Find the nib you want to modify, open it.
5) Find the text box, and set Continuous Spell Checking in the Attributes (COMMAND-2) pane; save.
6) It will make a new nib called {name}~.nib which will be automatically loaded in place of the original.

That should work, provided it's a cocoa application, and you have the DevTools installed...

:D
 
Wow! I'm a total idiot. :confused:

The text input boxes will be part of the render engine, not a static input box. So this suggestion won't work for a browser.

You'd probably have to edit the rendering engine itself, and I don't have any idea how to do that.

Sorry for the wild goose chase guys...
