These words are not needed and should be removed

Some files were automatically ignored 🙈

These sample patterns would exclude them:

^src/common/CalculatorEngineCommon/exprtk\.hpp$

You should consider adding them to:

.github/actions/spell-check/excludes.txt

File matching is via Perl regular expressions.

To check these files, more of their words need to be in the dictionary than not. You can use patterns.txt to exclude portions, add items to the dictionary (e.g. by adding them to allow.txt), or fix typos.

To accept these unrecognized words as correct, update file exclusions, and remove the previously acknowledged and now absent words, you could run the following commands

... in a clone of the git@github.com:vanzue/PowerToys.git repository
on the search-spec branch (ℹ️ how do I use this?):

curl -s -S -L 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/c635c2f3f714eec2fcf27b643a1919b9a811ef2e/apply.pl' |
perl - 'https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/actions/runs/15754312655/attempts/1' &&
git commit -m 'Update check-spelling metadata'

Pattern suggestions ✂️ (1)

You could add these patterns to .github/actions/spell-check/patterns.txt:

# Automatically suggested patterns

# hit-count: 1 file-count: 1
# curl arguments
\b(?:\\n|)curl(?:\.exe|)(?:\s+-[a-zA-Z]{1,2}\b)*(?:\s+-[a-zA-Z]{3,})(?:\s+-[a-zA-Z]+)*

Alternatively, if a pattern suggestion doesn't make sense for this project, add a #
to the beginning of the line in the candidates file with the pattern to stop suggesting it.

If the flagged items are 🤯 false positives

If items relate to a ...

• binary file (or some other file you wouldn't want to check at all).

  Please add a file path to the excludes.txt file matching the containing file.

  File paths are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can test yours before committing to verify it will match your files.

  ^ refers to the file's path from the root of the repository, so ^README\.md$ would exclude README.md (on whichever branch you're using).

• well-formed pattern.

  If you can write a pattern that would match it,
  try adding it to the patterns.txt file.

  Patterns are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can test yours before committing to verify it will match your lines.

  Note that patterns can't match multiline strings.
