I like to keep my Emacs init.el
file under version control/synced to the web so I can pull it down from multiple computers. I have just started using M-x ispell
(which confusingly I'm pretty sure is invoking aspell
, whatever the difference) to check my spelling and have begun adding to my personal dictionary of words that should not be recognized as errors. How do I now use this dictionary on another computer? I guess I can break the question up:
- What files does
aspell
generate on my machine that pertain to my personal dictionary and what of these files will I need to keep under version control to use on another machine? - If I simply copy them to the same directory structure on another machine (potentially different OS) should I expect it to magically recognize my personal dictionary words?
- If the answer to 2. is "No", what do I need to do/configure to tell
aspell
"hey, this is my personal dictionary file(s) you should be checking against"?
Here's my config:
emacs.d
is a string that stores site-lisp directory. On my current machine it's"~/Dropbox/source/site-lisp/"
. As long as a set it up properly on different machines, the dictionary will sync.
