Is it possible to exclude camelcase words (and other notations) from the spell check?
I have a large technical document that produces hundreds of false positives.

Possibility with QM v7.0 Mar 18, 2020

Hi Anthony,

there is a possibility in the spellcheck of QM v7.0 to ignore words that are used in the source text which could do the trick for the camelcase words.

Hi Anthony,

there is a possibility in the spellcheck of QM v7.0 to ignore words that are used in the source text which could do the trick for the camelcase words.

Obviously you need Across v7.0 to do this and very likely the use of QM v7.0 in your project cannot be added after setting up the project (using QM v7.0 must be integrated in the project setting templates). So maybe this tipp is only useful for your next project ...

Best,

Thanks for your feedback, unfortunately I do not have the rights to make system settings.

Select the camelcase word and "add to dictionary" Mar 20, 2020

Are you able to select the word and choose "add to dictionary" from the context menu?
Perhaps this might help at least for the frequent ones.
My two cents
