You can add a spelling checker plug-in.

 

Scriptum: a free text editor for VHDL and C languages  

Scriptum

Another text editor for HDL files is the Scriptum from the HDL Works company. You can download it for free and use it to edit source files before starting the simulator or the synthesis tools. A colour scheme to appreciate the different meaning of statements, comments, signals, etc. will help you to study and write your source files.

These below in Fig. 2 are some indications to associate both, VHD and VHT extensions to this text editor by default.
