Spell checking in finch?

I recently tried switching from pidgin to finch. It looks like most of the features carry over, but one I haven't figure out is spell check. I believe this was handled by aspell and possibly GTK. Is there a way to get this functionality in finch? Bringing up a list of recommended fixes is nice, but I'd settle for just highlighting misspelled words.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Re: Spell checking in finch?

First, this is something that should have been brought up with the Pidgin folks, as Arch does not influence the development of features in programs.

Finch currently does not support spell checking.  Pidgin supports it through GtkSpell, which uses enchant for its spell checking API.

Spell checking support in finch is currently being worked on [1].
