What variant of Codex are you using?

App Windows

What feature would you like to see?

Please make spellchecking an optional switch on/off in Codex App settings.

Any additional options would be welcome, but being able to turn it off would go a long way already.

Currently, spellchecking seems to be fixed, always on, and using the Windows UI language.

Even if: Spellchecking is off in Windows Codex App UI is set to English But Windows UI is German

..spellchecking will assume German and add red squiggly lines to all English words.

I write in both languages, but mostly English in Codex. It really is no fun to have squiggly lines jump into your face under every word, pulling attention from the actual text.

Additional information

I can make changes to the C:\Users\Giesen\AppData\Local\Packages\OpenAI.Codex_2p2nqsd0c76g0\LocalCache\Roaming\Codex\web\Codex\Default\Preferences file, but that will probably be switched back with every update.

"de-DE","de","en-US","en" even checks both languages in the same prompt. Only there are no suggestions, but I can live with that.
