Disable output in the "PROBLEMS" tab

Is it possible to disable the cSpell output in the "PROBLEMS" tab in vscode? I only want compiler or static analysis messages in there and I want to see the spell checker issues only in the editor.

Setting "cSpell.maxNumberOfProblems": 0 didn't work as it completely disabled the spell checker suggestions.

I know this is a bit of a lame answer, but Extensions do not have control of the Problems panel.

The extension just provides a list of Diagnostic objects to VS Code and it does the rest.

See: Filter "Problems" by the extension which generated them (Markers Panel Filter) · Issue #51103 · microsoft/vscode

What a shame! I really love cSpell as it helps my dyslexia hugely, but I absolutely must fix all linting issues before committing. So, I need to see the PROBLEMS number get to zero, but it's full of spelling items that I have to keep circling around. I hope VS Code will let Extensions have control of the Problems panel.

In the mean time I've had to disable cSpell. Whaaaaaa!!!

@grumBit You can bind a keyboard shortcut to turn off the spell checker while fix the linter issues. When the spell checker is off, the issues will not show in the problems pane.

Just try: F1 -> Toggle Spell Checking

see: CHANGELOG.md - new commands

Toggle Spell Checking

That's brilliant! Thank you so much @Jason3S!

Thanks a lot @Jason3S for your great work. I would still like to come back to this. The workaround with enable/disable spell checking is not bad, but I realize that I never reach the point to turn it back on after turning it off.

Would it work to add some token (like the suffix - cSpell) to the messages, to help with the filtering in the "Problems" pane? I'm admittedly a bit ignorant how well the "Problems" pane filters work...

I think this might be fixed by the ability to set cSpell.diagnosticLevel to hint as per https://streetsidesoftware.com/vscode-spell-checker/docs/configuration/#cspelldiagnosticlevel

This is fixed by #2887 It will go out with the 4.0 release.
