Description

Right now TeXstudio is able to start Languagetool if not already running.
Since Languagetool consumes a considerable amount of resources it might not be desirable to set that when working mobile.

So I propose to give the user the option to start Languagetool by pressing on the button on the bottom and to stop it by pressing the button again.

Research direction

Locate the existing LanguageTool startup path and the bottom button handling, then trace how the process is started. Done means the button can explicitly start and stop LanguageTool, allowing users to avoid automatic startup; verify both button transitions and the existing LanguageTool behavior.
