WordPattern

Defines the regular expression pattern for word recognition in texts.

The default pattern: [\p{Lu}\p{Ll}]\p{Ll}+ (words with 2+ letters, "RightWords" is treated as "Right" and "Words")

All capturing groups (...) are removed from the word before spell-checking. This is used for checking spelling of words with embedded "noise" parts, like the hotkey markers & in .lng or .restext files. Use not capturing groups (?:) in all other cases where grouping is needed.

Nested capturing groups are not supported and they are not really needed.

Example pattern for .lng and .restext files: [\p{Lu}\p{Ll}](?:\p{Ll}|(&))+

SkipPattern

Defines the regular expression pattern for text areas to be ignored. The default pattern is null (not specified, nothing is ignored).

Sample pattern (using (?x:) for comments and ignored white spaces):

(?x:
    \w*\d\w* # words with digits
    | "(?:\w+:|\.+)?[\\/][^"]+" # quoted path-like text
    | (?:\w+:|\.+)?[\\/][^\s]+ # simple path-like text
)

UserDictionaryDirectory

Add to Dictionary

Contents

Add to Dictionary supports the common and language dictionaries.

On adding a word to the common dictionary, choose one of the suggested variants.

On adding to a language dictionary, provide two stems: the new word and sample existing in the dictionary. If the sample stem is empty the word is added as is.

Examples:

English stems: "plugin" and "pin". These forms become correct:

plugin   plugins   Plugin   Plugins

Russian stems: "плагин" and "камин". These forms become correct:

плагин   плагины   Плагин   Плагины
плагина  плагинов  Плагина  Плагинов
плагину  плагинам  Плагину  Плагинам
плагином плагинами Плагином Плагинами
плагине  плагинах  Плагине  Плагинах

CAUTION: Mind capitalization, e.g. "plugin", not "Plugin".

User dictionaries are UTF-8 text files in the module roaming directory: RightWords.dic (common) and files like RightWords.English.dic (languages).
