# Spell Check Package [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/atom/spell-check.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/atom/spell-check)

Highlights misspelling in Atom and shows possible corrections.

Use `cmd+shift+:` to bring up the list of corrections when your cursor is on a
misspelled word.

By default spell check is enabled for the following files:

* Plain Text
* GitHub Markdown
* Git Commit Message

You can override this from the _Spell Check_ settings in the Settings view
(`cmd-,`).

## Changing the dictionary

This package will use the dictionary set by the system.

### Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9)

The system dictionary can be changed in
**System Preferences > Keyboard > Text** under the "Spelling" section.
