try vscode they said, it’s the best code editor ever they said… what kind of warped sadist puts fucking spell check…

Why do you think this is spell check and not syntax checking?
The tab shows as unsaved up at the top and there is a JS next to that, which probably means it’s trying to parse that as JavaScript. Just save the file with an appropriate extension (maybe .txt or .md) or you can (I think) also manually set that behavior.
Yeah this is why. What you can also do is click the language in the status bar at the bottom right to switch language without having to save it to a file.
Ctrl-K then R
I don’t think it’s spell check. For whatever reason, VSCode decided that you’re writing JS code and is trying to point out syntax errors. There should be some way to change the file type (open the command palette and look for “file type”, I suppose)
Can usually use the command palette to explicitly create a new file of type “x” too I believe (assuming you have the extension installed, python, etc)
Why does it recognize that file as js?
The ‘untitled’ heading makes me think that’s an unsaved file - I think it only has spell check in non-syntaxed unsaved files. It’s been years since I used it but I never had it yelling at me in regular code 🤔
that’s stupid. how do i turn it off?
…how? I actively tried to get spell check in vscode for editing markdown and couldn’t.
idk bro i tried for hours to make it go away and couldn’t. no other text editor is doing this, it’s only in vscode.
Lol wtf
right? sublime master race, i ain’t touching anything that had to do with M$ again.
I’ve been using Zed for a while now. It’s decent.
Ew. Is that a text editor? (I use KDE and that kind of UI WTF would irritate the hell out of me enough to switch, too! I don’t use kate, though, if that’s what that is.)
OP is using the high contrast theme, don’t blame that on the editor
it’s vscode, and apparently it’s the only editor it’s happening with. i guess i owe the kde folks an apology.
