Source: scowl Version: 2020.12.07-2 Severity: wishlist Qt WebEngine has the ability to spellcheck. It can use Hunspell dictionaries, but they must be compiled into a special binary format that combines the .dic and .aff files into one .bdic file. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-features.html#spellchecker The .bdic file can be created by the qwebengine_convert_dict utility in the qtwebengine5-dev-tools package. The .bdic file should be installed in /usr/share/qt5/qtwebengine_dictionaries with a symlink from /usr/share/qt6/qtwebengine_dictionaries. At a future point when Qt6 becomes the default in Debian then the file should be moved to the Qt6 directory with a symlink from the Qt5 directory. When Qt5 is removed from Debian that symlink should be removed as well. With the .bdic file in that location, any programs that uses Qt WebEngine can include spellchecking functionality. I thought about creating a separate source package for this, but it seems to make more sense to me to include this as separate binaries in the current scowl package. I am willing to submit a patch and assist with maintining it over time if you would like.
