Spellchecking
MPS checks the spelling of all your source code, including single-line comments, Javadoc text, and string literals.
The Typo inspection detects and highlights words that are not included in any dictionary. You can either correct the spelling or save the word to the dictionary.
Save a word to dictionary
If a dedected typo is actually a valid word, you can add it to a user-defined dictionary that extends the built-in dictionaries.
Select the Add to dictionary action in the Context menu to add the word to the user's dictionary and skip it in the future.
Design languages for spellchecking
Spellchecking is enabled for all languages. To indicate that the text of a particular editor cell should be checked against a dictionary (as configured in Settings), add the ’spellcheck’ style attribute in the Inspector to the cell in your editor declaration.
Dictionaries
MPS includes bundled dictionaries for all configured languages. You cannot change them directly, but you can extend the spellchecker in other ways:
Save words to a built-in global or project dictionary.
Add plain-text files with the .dic extension that contain lists of words.
You can add Hunspell dictionaries, each of which consists of two files: the DIC file that contains a list of words with the applicable modification rules and the AFF file that lists prefixes and suffixes regulated by a specific modification rule. For example, en_GB.dic and en_GB.aff.
Configure the spellchecker dictionaries
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Configure the list of custom dictionaries:
To add a new custom dictionary to the list, click
or press Alt+Insert and specify the location of the required file.To edit the contents of a custom dictionary in MPS, select it and click
or press Enter. The corresponding file will open in a new editor tab.To remove a custom dictionary from the list, select it and click
or press Alt+Delete.
Select the default dictionary for saving words
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Select either the built-in project-level or application-level dictionary or disable the option to prompt you every time you save a word.
Add accepted words manually
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Add words to the Accepted words list. MPS adds manually accepted words to the project-level dictionary.
You can't add words that are already present in one of the dictionaries and mixed-case words, such as
CamelCaseandsnake_case.
Share dictionaries
MPS stores the built-in project-level dictionary with other project-related files. This means that anyone working with the project has access to the words stored in this dictionary.
