Problem

I frequently add non-standard words to the dictionary, and would not like to lose it. Is there any way to save it somewhere, so that I would never have to start over ?

Low Risk

I have found these dictionaries in my system with : Generally $HOME/.config contains all types of configuration for your programs. update: I found the corresponding specification I was looking for: XDG Base Directory Specification.
