docs(spell): can't add word to personal dict
Adding `Cannot add [word] to any active dictionary` error to the troubleshooting section. I have had this problem multiple times now when I break my emacs and wipe the `~/.config/emacs` directory and I can never remember what file to create to get my spell check working properly. Even though this is a bug and might be fixed in the future, I feel like having it documented can be helpful in the short term and in the future. Ref: #6246

If ~M-x +spell/add-word~ results in the above error this mean that the
|
||||
personal dictionary file was not created for some reason. This can be
|
||||
fixed by creating the required file manually.
|
||||
#+begin_example shell
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.emacs.d/.local/etc/ispell
|
||||
echo personal_ws-1.1 en 0 > ~/.emacs.d/.local/etc/ispell/.pws
|
||||
#+end_example
|
||||
|
||||
Where ~personal_ws-1.1 en 0~ is the required header format for the personal
|
||||
dictionary file. ~en~ is the language you're writing in and have a dict
|
||||
installed and ~0~ is the number of added words in the dictionary. If you are
|
||||
planning of updating the file with the list of words, update the number
|
||||
accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
After the file is created, restart emacs and adding words should work.
