I'm happy to just run spellcheck at the end, but I'm not sure this
discussion is on point. Assuming that a significant number of users
want it on-the-fly (enough to motivate some developer to tackle it),
there would just need to be an option to enable/disable it and
everyone would (hypothetically) be satisfied.
Of course. And anyone who wants to code this can do so. This was in
response to the suggestion that LyX lacked this incredibly wonderful and
painfully obvious feature. My point was that it isn't obviously
wonderful. Indeed, I'd go so far as to say that, if you think you want
it, you're either wrong or not very focused on writing. But to each his
or her own.
