Is this what you are referring to-- # home-dir (string) # location for personal files # default: <$HOME|./> = /home/swarup I am not using Hunspell, to the best of my knowledge. I am working in gedit, and the spellchecker I am using is aspell. I edit the aspell Hindi dictionary all the time, adding to it, changing words, removing words. And in the gedit tools menu I can select English or Hindi as the spellchecker. If the Hindi spellchecker in that very menu is aspell, then I would imagine the English spellchecker is also aspell. _______________________________________________ Aspell-user mailing list Aspell-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user
