Spell checking using browser spell checker

See original GitHub issue

If the DIVs and SPANs is explicitly set to contenteditable="true" (instead of inherited) you get a red squiggly under badly spelled words in the monaco editor. The context menu hides the suggestions - but if that is removed/disabled - the word can be replaced; but even without the replace - the spell lint would be very nice.

Such a “feature” would be VERY nice for .TXT, .MD etc… especially with Chromes “new” enhanced (opt. in) spell checker that also “checks the language”.

My strategy is to do the spell checking via a language server. I have to admit that it is a bit clumsy. I also have to implement the add to dictionary function. It would be great if monaco could leverage built-in spell checkers in browsers.

Really wishing spell checking was available. 👍🏻 hope this feature lands soon.
