How to add words to Atom's spell checker dictionary?

Tags:

Trying to get a bit more functionality out of Atom's spell checker and right now the false positives are making it less than useful.

How can I add a word to Atom's dictionary so it no longer shows up as misspelled?

How do you use spell check in an atom?

To enable Spell Check for your current file type: put your cursor in the file, open the Command Palette (cmd-shift-p for Mac or ctrl-shift-p for Windows or Linux), and run the Editor: Log Cursor Scope command. This will trigger a notification which will contain a list of scopes.

This feature was released in version 1.12 of Atom, implemented in Pull Request #120.

To enable it, checkmark the option labeled Add Known Words, found in Packages -> Settings View -> Open, or shortcut Cmd + ,. Then go to Packages tab and search for spell-check.

Then, to add a word to the builtin dictionary, press cmd-shift-: while the cursor is on the misspelled word and select the item named Add to Known Words.
