I noticed that quite often, the words that I manually add to Obsidian's dictionary are often long academic terms that I'd also want to have suggested for autocompletes.

Is it possible to have an option to add the words Obsidian saves in that "Ignored Words" list also to the list of words suggested? (They are saved in .obsidian/app.json, btw.)

Hi, @chrisgrieser. Thank you for your FR :)

I noticed that quite often, the words that I manually add to Obsidian's dictionary are often long academic terms that I'd also want to have suggested for autocompletes.

Right. I think so, too.

They are saved in .obsidian/app.json, btw.

I have added a word to the dictionary and seen .obsidian/app.json. But there are no words I added.

  "autoPairBrackets": false,
  "showLineNumber": true,
  "vimMode": true,
  "promptDelete": false,
  "alwaysUpdateLinks": true,
  "newFileLocation": "folder",
  "newFileFolderPath": "Notes/2021-51w",
  "showUnsupportedFiles": true,
  "attachmentFolderPath": "./attachments",
  "autoConvertHtml": false,
  "autoPairMarkdown": false,
  "pdfExportSettings": {
    "pageSize": "Letter",
    "landscape": false,
    "margin": "0",
    "downscalePercent": 100
  },
  "readableLineLength": true,
  "mobilePullAction": "command-palette:open",
  "defaultViewMode": "source",
  "livePreview": true,
  "legacyEditor": false,
  "spellcheck": true,
  "spellcheckLanguages": [
    "en-US"
  ]
}

If this behavior is as expected, It seems difficult to implement because there are no APIs related to spell checker/dictionary in Obsidian API .

Hmm, for me they do show – maybe it takes a bit of time until the cache is written to that file or something? 🤔

I couldn't reproduce it even after reboot a machine. 🤔 (my machine is Windows?)

could be an Windows issue since on mac, Obsidian uses a different type of spellcheck. no idea though 🤔

Let me make this FR low priority because there are no interfaces on Obsidian API about this feature.

I just came back to this, and app.vault.config.spellcheckDictionary in the console gives me an array of all words I manually added. Wouldn't hurt adding it, since it's so easy to implement I guess? Like simply a toggle in the settings, ignoring it when for whatever reason the words are not saved in that config file for users of certain operating systems?

Ok. I'll implement it to v6.0.0-beta1. However, my windows machine has no app.vault.config.spellcheckDictionary, so I can't confirm it. Please test the feature after I release v6.0.0-beta1 🙏

Sure, thank You 🤗

Please test the feature after I release v6.0.0-beta1 🙏

Oh.. I forgot to implement.., so it will release v6.0.0-beta3 😅

I found the dictionary file at $env:APPDATA/obsidian/Custom Dictionary.txt.

In macOS, Is the dictionary file at ~/obsidian/Custom Dictionary.txt by any chance?

Nope, they are in .obsidian/app.json, as an array with the key spellcheckDictionary

okay, i updated to beta3, where/how do I use the new feature? can't find anything in the settings and in the commands? 🤔

okay, there is some strange stuff with the spellcheck dictionary going on, see here (and the following messages where I describe it): https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/716028884885307432/965367785507160064

Sorry for the confusion. It doesn't release yet 😅 (the release note is correct). I'll release it after solving your problem in #114 .

Thanks! That would be very helpful. 😄

@chrisgrieser I have released v6.0.0-beta7 🚀

Please confirm after enabling the below option whether it works as you expected.

oh sorry, I haven't emphasized it properly... like in the Discord conversation linked above, we found out that the .obsidian/app.json contains only the spellcheck words for the outdated legacy editor – words I add to the spellcheck dictionary actually do not show up there, and I only had some there since I started adding words before the new editor 🙈

So basically the added words seem to be stored somewhere, but the .obsidian/app.json is not the right place, at least when you use the new editor. sorry, I should have said it more clearly instead of just linking the conversation 😔

Oh... I overlooked legacy editor 😅 If so, there is nothing to do unless Obsidian API for spellcheck is published. 🤔
