How do you just disable linting without disabling the linter plugin?

[PucklaJ]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I am not really a fan of linting in terminal based text editors. Therefore I wanted to disable it, but all I could do was disabling the linter plugin itself. But when disabling the linter plugin micro always complains about some unknown function when executing:

Plugin misspell: misspell:8: attempt to index a non-table object(nil) with key 'makeLinter'
stack traceback:
	misspell:8: in main chunk
	[G]: ?

Press enter to continue

Is there a way to just disable linting?

Looks like the problem is not with the linter plugin itself but with the misspell plugin which depends on the linter enabled. So it looks like you can just disable the misspell plugin too, and that will solve your problem (assuming that you don't need spell checking either).

I see the misspell plugin implementation is trivial and just calls the linter: https://github.com/micro-editor/updated-plugins/blob/master/micro-misspell-plugin/misspell.lua
Perhaps it can be slightly improved to prevent the issue you faced: if linter is nil (i.e. the linter plugin disabled), just do nothing.

Yes this works (I don't want spellchecking either in my case). But I will keep the issue open if someone wants to improve the misspell plugin.
