Description rferraro 2023-01-01 18:26:07 UTC 
Description:
During spell check, it would be nice to have the option to add a word to an exclusion list with a right click when it is underlined as spelling error. Alternately if one selects Ignore All it would add the word to the exclusion list.

The reason this is needed is that Ignore All is not remembered in subsequent sessions. I have been working on a document for 3 years and it is over 700,000 thousand words. Many technical items that I do not want to add to dictionary. Each time I load the document the words are underlined in red again. It is quite distracting to one's focus and very tedious to have to constant do ignore All each session to avoid the distraction.

Of course the other option is to have Ignore All remember between sessions.

Is your idea, that is is document specific or should this be valid for all documents? Why it is not a solution for you to create a new dictionary especially for this document with all its technical items?

=> NEEDINFO

It should only be document specific.

Yes I could create a new dictionary especially for my technical terms.

So let's close the bug as WONTFIX. Feel free to change it back to UNCONFIRMED with a short reasoning, if you disagree.

Let's consolidate requests around repeated Ignore/All.
