Spelling

This area displays the list of user-defined dictionary files, which can be any of the following:

• The built-in project-level and application-level dictionaries, which you populate by manually saving words to them.

• Plain text files with the DIC extension, containing words separated with a new line.

• Hunspell dictionaries, comprise two plain text files commonly sharing the same name, for example, en_GB.dic and en_GB.aff. The DIC file contains a list of words together with the applicable modification rules. The AFF file lists prefixes and suffixes regulated by a specific modification rule. Hunspell dictionaries can be easily obtained online, for example, here.

note

Hunspell support is provided by the corresponding Hunspell plugin. The plugin is not bundled with JetBrains Rider, but it can be installed on the Settings | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains Marketplace.

Use this area to populate a custom dictionary with the list of words that should be skipped by the Typo inspection. The list also contains words that you saved to either the built-in global or project dictionary. Although it does not contain words added to the project-level dictionary by other users and words from other custom dictionaries, the Typo inspection will not highlight them.
