In consideration of the domain specific language of RStudio users we have collected, and are constantly adding to, a whitelisted set of words to reduce the noise of the spellcheck on initial usage. The application will only check comments in code files and raw text in markdown files. Right click the word for suggestions, to ignore it, or to add it to your own local dictionary to be remembered for the future. A short period of time after typing in a saved file of a supported format (R Script, R Markdown, C++, and more) a yellow underline will appear under words that don’t pass the spellcheck of the loaded dictionary. Using the new real time spellchecking is simple with a standard and familiar interface. By integrating spellchecking directly into the editor we can check words as you’re typing them and are able to give suggestions on demand.Īs with the prior spellcheck implementation (that is still invoked with the toolbar button) the new spellchecking is fully Hunspell compatible and any previous custom dictionaries can be used. Prior to RStudio 1.3, spellchecking was an active process requiring the user to step word by word in a dialog. RStudio 1.3 Preview: Real Time Spellchecking Adam Conroy Īs part of the upcoming 1.3 release of the RStudio IDE we are excited to show you a preview of the real time spellchecking feature that we’ve added.
