Description
I came up with a hack that could possibly be used to enable native spell check for browsers that support it: http://codepen.io/csuwldcat/pen/mEzGmP?editors=0010
I noticed that clicks are still registered on the spans of words, so I figured I could clone the word on double click and make the clone contenteditable with spellchecking turned on. From there I mask the original, allow the user to right click the misspelled word, then reflect the change on the original text by copying the corrected text to it.
