How to Disable Spell Checking for All My Projects

Question

Is there a way to disable spell check at the IDE level in PHPStorm? I need to individually disable spell check for all my projects right now which is a bit of a pest.

Answer 1

There is no "global" setting for existing projects -- it needs to be done for each project individually (Spell Checker is an inspection and Inspections are configured on per-project level).

You need to disable whole group at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Spelling.

You can configure it to be disabled by default for any future new projects: File | Default Settings | Editor | Inspections | Spelling

---

Also check suggestion by @Amged -- edit your Color Schema to simply remove any visual effects for misspelt words: Settings/Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts | General --> Errors & Warnings | Typo.

This way it will affect ALL projects straight away as long you use that Color Schema. It will also allow you to still list all typos if you run Code | Inspect Code....

The possible down-side: spell checker still runs; you will see extra 2 menu entries when right clicking on such words.
