Spellcheck Ignore Words
I would like the Spellcheck tool to ignore words forever, and not just during the current session. It shouldn't be hard to generate a user list of words to ignore always. I have lots of words I use in a book (such as invented names) that I don't want to add to the default user dictionary.
I have a kludgy workaround. I created an Ignore.txt user dictionary. I add my "Ignore" words to the Ignore.txt dictionary and to my default user dictionary. When I want a clean default dictionary I copy it, paste in the Ignore list, find duplicates (thank you BBEdit), and delete both. I shouldn't have to do this. |

Variation on Doitsu's suggestion
Did you try adding your ignore.txt word list into the user dictionaries folder in Sigil's configuration folder and turning it on/off in Preferences - you could use a symlink if you don't want to keep the list in Sigil's config folder. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 02-10-2017 at 03:49 PM. |

My Technique:
In addition to the normal spellchecker dictionary I have a user dictionary for each series/world. Character and place names, etc. are usually consistent throughout that universe. When you wish to add a word to the ignore list you can select which dictionary it is added to. |
