However, this word is specific to the file I am editing or the project I am working on; it is unlikely to occur in other documents. Therefore, I don't want to add it to my local dictionary in the home directory. I can press "a" and have the word remembered for one Emacs session, but what if I check this document several times on different days? Is there a way to remember this word for this document only, e.g., via file variables or a dictionary in a certain project directory? Maybe I can use something like --extra-dicts option of aspell, but is there a way to put words into that dictionary during the spellchecking session (similar to how the "i" key puts a word in the local dictionary)? Thank you, Evgeny ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

In fact, I found another option: add the line "LocalWords: the list of words to ignore" (in a comment). This is not described in the Emacs manual. The drawback for setting ispell-personal-dictionary is that during spellchecking I can only add words to that file. For LocalWords, I guess words have to be added manually. It would be nice to be able to make a choice whether to add a word to the file-local dictionary or the "real" personal dictionary, but I guess Emacs has to be changed for that.
