How to disable all validations for plain text in VS code

I am building a Laravel project with VS Code on Ubuntu 18.04. I've installed a couple of extensions to help me with the syntax.

I also have a few .txt files in the same workspace that I use for miscellaneous notes. All the content of my .txt files gets red wavy underlining.

Do you know how to disable all the spell-check and validation only for my plain text files?

I've read these posts, about disabling PHP and CSS validation, but that didn't help my case.

Solution

  • I sort of figured it out for myself now that I'm more familiar with VS Code.

    In my case, every underlined word is related to a warning message. Those warnings are counted in My status bar (located at the low left corner).

    I can see the full warning messages in the "Problems" section

    • by clicking on the status bar icon
    • or by using the hotkey for Problems (Ctrl+Shift+M)

    When I saw the full messages it was obvious that the Spell Right extension was doing all the underlining. For now, I just uninstalled it.
