Ren'Py Visual Studio Code - Renpy Keywords dictionary

[osanaiko]

I was working on my project using VSCode and got annoyed at all the "spelling errors" highlighted in the editor.

I have the Renpy Language extension already installed and it works fine... but I realized that the dictionary of keywords was not part of the extension.

So I worked out how to add a custom dict to my project, and created the dict file. Here's how you can use it too:

• In your project folder you should have a ".vscode" folder where there is a "settings.json" file (this is where VSCode stores any per-project customized settings). Open the "settings.json" file and add the following code block. Be careful not to break the JSON formatting of the existing file
  

      "cSpell.customDictionaries": {
          "project-words": {
            "name": "renpy-keywords",
            "path": "./renpy-keywords.txt",
            "description": "Words used in Renpy DSL",
            "addWords": false
          },
          "custom": true, // Enable the `custom` dictionary
          "internal-terms": false // Disable the `internal-terms` dictionary
      }

• Next, Download the "renpy-keywords file" that is attached to this post. Save it in your project folder root, i.e. the same level as the "game" folder (not *in* the game folder)

The file goes here:​

• And if you then restart VSC, you should no longer have the infuriating underscore squiggle lines on every "xpos" and "layeredimage" etc
