John McIntosh & I did that 15 years ago as part of the Sophie project. Well, we made connections to host spelling check systems, not implemented on in Smalltalk.

On a Mac it worked really well since the OS has a pretty good spelling checker provided by default. On Windows (as of 2004 or so) you had to handle *not* having a spell check installed - it came as part of Office. Which, yes, a lot of people had but not all. On *nix... I don't remember.

Generically I think it would be great. Implementing a good one in Smalltalk... would be a fascinating student thesis project and I encourage someone to do it.

I did that in VW too in the late 90s.

I think that I used GNU aspell if I remember correctly.

Using cygwin/mingw makes it available for windows.

It is LGPL, so should be OK for distributing a plugin.

But here, we're only speaking of Squeak code edition, and Symbol allSymbols should give enough feedback.
