Description
This feature request is duplicated with #1977 for spell check
Spell check by 3rd-party tools such as the browser or other tools like Grammarly is useful when writing documents and Markdown. I think this is not a heavy work for core developers but it brings huge benefit to users. All we need is to add contenteditable="true" attribute to each editor element.
The CodeMirror editor supports spell check by default.
Please consider this feature request. Anyone who expects this feature to be implemented, please upvote!

Start by reading the related issue #1977, since this request says it is a duplicate and no file, test, or entry point is identified here. A complete result would define and implement spell-check support for Monaco editor content while preserving normal editor behavior, with validation for browser or third-party spell-checking.
