Feature request: Ability to override dictionaries #163

Closed JoshHawley closed 6 years ago

JoshHawley commented 6 years ago

We have a "no personal pronouns" rule in our coding standards. If we could always mark I/we/us/our/her/his/my/... it would make it much easier. These are in the the default dictionary, and I don't see a way to override it.

I'm looking for a way to always mark specific words as wrong, even if they show up in a dictionary. An explicit deny list.

Thanks, Josh

Removing words from the base dictionaries isn't an option. That rather defeats the purpose of the spell checker. That said, there's nothing stopping you from making a copy of the dictionary and removing the entries that you don't want.

You can either place it in a common location for the team or into each project and use a solution or project configuration to set the additional dictionary folder that contains it. Dictionaries found in those folders override the base dictionaries supplied with the package.
