Vscode-spell-checker: Disable spelling issues being listed in Problems and Folder view

[thomthom]

Would it be possible to have an option to prevent spelling issues reported in the Problems tab and the Folder view?

I find it noisy to get spelling issues listed here. I'd prefer to only see the squiggly lines inline in the code editor.

Please see #183 and #181 for the folders.

The only control I have is to set the diagnostic level. VS Code does everything else.

Create an issue on VS Code and refer to this one. Maybe they can help.

I was in the process of doing that, but saw some existing issues that looked similar encouraging to file with the extension itself. But with the confirmation that the extension doesn't have control over that I'll log an issue with VSCode.

@thomthom thank you. I am sure other people would like more control over the problem window as well.

Just an update - looks like the first move for VSCode might be to not display Hint type; https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/44141#issuecomment-372989003

Is this extension currently using Info type?

It's not released yet, so it might change. But worth keeping an eye on.

It is currently set to information. You can change it in the User Settings:

Hi guys. Came here looking to do the same thing as OP.

In combination with @thomthom's answer and using this version of vscode...

then setting

"cSpell.diagnosticLevel": "Hint",

I'm happy to report it does prevent the output in Problems tab and Folders view.

But, as expected, it also changes the squiggle.

I'd love to be able to keep the green squiggle and supress the Problems and Folders output but this is a good start!

Thanks for the amazing extension!

Agree with @GollyJer - not having the squiggly lines are not ideal. I made a follow up post in the VSCode issue where I referenced his comment.

Wrote a new issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/95707 since https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/44141 was closed with a different implementation than this issue had in mind.
