Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I am not really a fan of linting in terminal based text editors. Therefore I wanted to disable it, but all I could do was disabling the linter plugin itself. But when disabling the linter plugin micro always complains about some unknown function when executing:

Plugin misspell: misspell:8: attempt to index a non-table object(nil) with key 'makeLinter'
stack traceback:
	misspell:8: in main chunk
	[G]: ?

Press enter to continue

Is there a way to just disable linting?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported error when the linter plugin is disabled, using the misspell plugin and its makeLinter call described in the issue. Trace the plugin configuration and linting entry points to determine whether linting can be disabled independently, then verify that the plugin remains enabled without producing the reported unknown-function error.
