    Description

      It'd be nice if QtWebEngine could read spell checking dictionaries which already exist in a Google Chrome installation (similar to how Flash and WideVine are handled). That'd make spell checking mostly work out of the box for people who also use Chrome/Chromium.

      At least on my Linux machine, I have a ~/.config/chromium/Dictionaries/en-US-7-1.bdic - I suppose something similar exists on macOS and Windows too.
