What is the motivation behind this feature?

Feature Description
Add inline spell check / auto-correction support for user prompts in the input box. Opencode supports this already

Problem Statement
When typing prompts into Aider Desk on Windows, there is currently no visual indication (e.g., squiggly red lines) or automatic correction for misspelled words.

While LLMs are generally good at inferring intent despite typos, misspelled function names, file paths, or specific technical terms in prompts can lead to misinterpretation or require extra clarification cycles.

Environment Details
OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11

Application: Aider Desk

Describe the solution you'd like

Proposed Solution
Integrate native spell checking into the prompt input field. Ideally, this would:

Highlight misspelled words with a red underline.

Provide a right-click context menu (or shortcut) with spelling suggestions.

Allow users to add custom technical terms/project words to a local dictionary.
