The default editor text in Windows 10 and 11 will get even more features. While we wait for the rumored Copilot integration, Windows fans are already discovering new things coming soon to Notepad.
Spotted by @PhantomOfEarth and announced on Twitter: Microsoft is preparing spell check and autocorrect features for Notepad.
Windows Insiders will soon be able to enchange στον ορθογραφικό έλεγχο, ώστε η εφαρμογή να επισημαίνει ανορθόγραφες λέξεις και να προσφέρει προτάσεις διόρθωσης. Επιπλέον, το Notepad θα μπορεί να διορθώνει αυτόματα τυποgraphics errors when spell checking is enabled.
Microsoft even prepares an exception list to specify the types files which the built-in spell checker should ignore. The pre-built list already includes txt, md, srt, ass (we're not kidding), lrc and lic formats. At this time, we don't know if Microsoft will allow other formats to be added.
The functions of Notepad that were recently discovered are not yet available for public testing and require some unknown hack to work. So those interested will have to wait for the company to release the next update for Windows Insiders.
