Is there a simple way to turn off "check spelling" for a particular document? You know, so that TextMate would remember it? I've got some scratch pads that get littered with re underlines, but I really like the spell checking in most cases.
It's only possible to toggle per language (file type).
I have the problem myself (liking spell checking, but having *.txt files with lots of non-prose), so I'll consider what can be done to set it on a file basis.
A kludge would be to create a new language grammar with something like scopeName set to text.plain.not-prose and associate that with your files, by e.g. naming them *.scratch -- that'd make it possible to have a specific spell checking setting.
Related question - is there any chance of getting a keyboard shortcut to toggle "Check Spelling as You Type"
I've made it option-cmd-;, which seems (sort of) consistent with having cmd-; do “Check Spelling” (for Cocoa apps at least), and my use of option-cmd to “toggle” a setting.
