My team use both Visual Studio and Rider. I want to be able to share a custom dictionary so that both sets of users have the same spell-checking experience.
Spell checking is built into both Rider and Visual Studio, however, they both have different ways of managing custom dictionaries.
In Visual Studio, you can specify a custom dictionary with these lines .editorconfig:
spelling_error_severity = warning
spelling_exclusion_path = .\custom-dictionary.DIC
spelling_checkable_types = strings,identifiers,comments
In Rider, you can specify custom dictionaries as either an XML file stored in the 'solution-shared' layer, or a word list file. The trouble I'm having with this is that:
- the solution-shared XML file is not available to Visual Studio as it only understands word list files
- the word list file must be configured on a user-by-user basis, e.g. each member of the team that uses Rider will have to go in and add the setting via
File/Settings/Editor/Spelling, as it's stored as part of the user settings, e.g.:
What would be idea is for Rider to pick up the configuration in .editorconfig. The next best alternative is for some Rider configuration stored within the solution (that is, checked into VCS), so that users get the same spell-checking experience by default.
Is there a way to achieve this?
