not so sure about the "usually" part, never seen a program to offer that
@jonasstein is that documented somewhere? E.g. searching for „hunspell technical terms dict“ doesn‘t yield a specific result on multiple dictionaries.
Dictionaries are currently per file settings. It‘s not impossible to do otherwise, but that‘s how it‘s implemented right now.
When I select Add to dictionary
I would expect the words to be added to the users Hunspell dictionary.
man hunspell
describes ~/.hunspell_default
as default folder for users dicts.
hunspell -D
lists the system dictionaries. The folders are typically /usr/share/myspell/
or /usr/share/hunspell/
. I think instead of /usr/share/texstudio
the dictionary folder should be one of these on Linux.
The package manager of your distribution manages also the dicts and keeps them up to date.
I am not sure, if it the same for all distributions. So the packager will have to adjust it.
Linux distributions usually prefer that dicts are shared so most files of https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/tree/master/utilities/dictionaries should not be installed by TXS. The stop words are not available, so they should be shipped by TXS.
Regarding the technical terms dict, I think about something like the med_dict.
Usually there are 3 Hunspell dictionaries per language required
Also the language may switch in the document. This is not reflected by the current configuration in TeXstudio 2.12.14:
