I enable DirectCorrect for my text editor because half the time I need it. But the other half the time, I'm coding HTML, C, Perl or something else that I don't want it for. I usually double-click the icon in the title bar to disable it for that file, but it would sure be nice if I could just tell DirectCorrect to take break when I'm editing a file ending in .htm or .html, .c, .pl, etc.
Thanks for listening!

That's an interesting idea, however Spell Catcher is really only able to determine the title of the window for the document you're editing. Generally speaking, they are the same (if the file exists on disk). Spell Catcher can get the window's title fairly reliably, especially in those apps that support DirectCorrect.
Note that you don't have to double-click the icons that DirectCorrect puts in the title area of the window, although the fact that they have transparent areas makes it easier to miss them and click through to the window itself. But if the icons didn't have transparent areas, they would look pretty awful.
I set my keyboard shortcut to turn DirectCorrect on or off to control-z - one less modifier makes it easier to type.

Thanks for the response, Evan, and the ^Z suggestion.
