I use Jupyter Notebook inside VSCode heavily. Wondering if there is a way to enable the spell checker for the .ipynb files?
There are a couple of way to do this:
F1 Enable Spell Checking Document Language

Due to a recent bug in VS Code, you might need to restart VS Code.
If you go to VS Code settings, and search for cspell.enabledLanguageIds, you can add the language ID.

thanks, but what language should I add? It works with Python (i.e. the .py files), but not with the Jupyter Notebooks. Tried the first approach as well, got an error "_Reduce of empty array with no initial value_", and restarting the VSCode didn't help.

jupyter - all lowercase.
Do you have some good examples I can try? The ones I found do not seem to load.
Plus, what plug-in are you using to edit / display them?
I use the Microsoft Python extension on Remote-WSL and the spell checker also seems not to work (even after restart of VSCode).


I think the spell checker only works with the raw text data and not in the extension view.
We need a spell checker for Jupyter Notebooks in VSCode.
