[Feature Request] Add ignore/add commands to spellchecker
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type a word not found in the dictionary (nanowire worked for me)
2. Right click the word which is (incorrectly) marked as wrong
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In addition to the suggestions, the menu items "Ignore" and "Add to
dictionary" found in many other applications would be useful.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN r246, Ubuntu 8.10

Yes, this is definitely needed. I'd like to move to using the Enchant interface
for spell-checkers, though, so it
makes sense to do that first before adding more features.

Once spellchecking is enabled (en-GB), TW seems to recognise LaTeX commands as
such, which is very appreciated here. Is it possible to add custom commands?
Would fiddling directly with the dic or aff files be advised?
Big thanks, as usual, and best wishes,
Juan

The spellchecker doesn't recognize LaTeX commands as such. However, the syntax
highlighter is configured not to check strings starting with a "\" (roughly
speaking). Note that this applies to everything, whether it is a valid LaTeX
command or not. Non-ASCII characters are not recognized by default, though.
I'm not exactly sure what you want to add, but
<resources>/configuration/syntax-patterns.txt is probably the file to do that
(See the wiki TipsAndTricks for locating the resources folder). There should be
a brief introduction into the file format at the top.
