I just noticed my editor is not underlining misspelled words with red from Chrome, is there a setting I need to set to make the native spell browser checker work? I did try the following in my new EditorView call (as I noticed the spellcheck=”true” is not set on the editor div created by the view):

```auto
props: {
    attributes: {
        spellcheck: "true"
    }
}

```

That of course didn’t do anything, so not sure I got it right.

If there are other more complex dictionary/spellchecker/thesaurus integrations for PM, let me know, I’d love to check them out and add something.

Spell-check works for me by default, also in Chrome.

I got the attribute to work for me but I still wonder about plugins or add ons for spell checking, what are the best ones out there to create a nice dropdown interface for that?
