Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The memo editor now passes CodeMirror extensions as an array. The configuration includes EditorView.contentAttributes for browser autocorrect and autocapitalization. Existing editor callbacks and configuration remain unchanged.

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the CodeMirror memo editor’s content attributes to request virtual-keyboard autocapitalization while retaining native autocorrection.

  • Adds autocapitalize="on" to the editable content element.
  • Keeps autocorrect="on" enabled for prose entry.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no identified blocking or non-blocking issues.

The new editor extension preserves the existing autocorrection value and additively enables autocapitalization without changing memo state, synchronization, or persistence behavior.

@codemirror/view 6.43.6 editorview.ts contentDOM spellcheck false contentAttributes

💡 Result:

In @codemirror/view (including version 6.43.6), the EditorView component manages the attributes of its internal editable DOM element (contentDOM) automatically [1][2]. Specifically, within the editorview.ts source file, the internal updateAttrs method initializes the contentDOM attributes with a default set of values, explicitly setting spellcheck to "false" [1][3]: const contentAttrs: Attrs = { spellcheck: "false", autocorrect: "off", autocapitalize: "off", writingsuggestions: "false", translate: "no", contenteditable:!this.state.facet(editable)? "false": "true", class: "cm-content",... } To override this default and enable browser spell checking (or customize other attributes), you can use the contentAttributes facet [4][5]. This allows you to provide an object of attributes that will be merged with or override the defaults [1][5]: import {EditorView} from "@codemirror/view" // Example: Enabling spellcheck const enableSpellcheck = EditorView.contentAttributes.of({spellcheck: "true"}) // Add this to your EditorView extensions const view = new EditorView({ extensions: [enableSpellcheck, /*... other extensions */] }) Because EditorView constantly manages the DOM to reflect the editor state, browser-native spell checking can sometimes be inconsistent or buggy, as the browser's heuristics for identifying user edits may conflict with the editor's DOM manipulations [6][5].

Enable spellchecking on the editor content DOM.

@codemirror/view 6.43.6 defaults contentDOM to spellcheck="false". Add spellcheck: "true" to this EditorView.contentAttributes configuration and test on iOS and Android.
