How to bulk-resolve many spelling errors at once? #508

Open justingrant opened 4 years ago

justingrant commented 4 years ago

I just installed vscode-spell-checker and now my projects have hundreds of light-blue squiggles to work through. Is there a way to apply a vscode-spell-checker action (e.g. add to workspace dictionary) to multiple problems at once? I can multi-select problems in the Problems pane, but when I right-click on the multi-selected group the selection goes away.

I'm not sure if this is possible. VS Code controls the selection and the menu options.

Not sure if the problems pane is the right place to fix this, but the underlying use case is that initial use of the spell checker is daunting on new files. Any help you could provide to make it easier to fix things in bulk would be appreciated!

There was a thread somewhere (I believe this extension) regarding this exact topic, but I remember it being a much larger/longer thread....

Ok, found this, but still doesn't feel like the thread I remember: https://github.com/streetsidesoftware/vscode-spell-checker/issues/529

@devinrhode2,

You can select the whole document and then run the command: Spell Add Words to Dictionary

It will provide a list of words to be added. By default, all of them are selected.

@devinrhode2,

You can also use the cspell cli:

cspell --no-progress --words-only --unique "**/*.md" >> project-words.txt
