Official Visual Studio keywords spelling_languages, spelling_checkable_types, and C++ include cleanup properties were incorrectly flagged as EC112-Unknown errors.

Changes

  • Added VisualStudio category to Category enum for VS-specific properties

  • Updated keyword recognition in Keyword.cs to map spelling_* prefix → VisualStudio category with appropriate moniker

  • Added 13 properties to schema (EditorConfig.json) - all properties from both Microsoft documentation links:

    Spell Checker Properties:

    • spelling_languages - comma-separated culture codes (en-us, fr-fr, etc.)
    • spelling_checkable_types - code elements to check (identifiers, comments, strings, plainText)
    • spelling_exclusion_path - path to custom dictionary file for ignored words
    • spelling_use_default_exclusion_dictionary - use built-in exclusion dictionary of common programming terms
    • spelling_error_severity - severity level for spelling errors (none, information, warning, error)

    C++ Include Cleanup Properties:

    • cpp_include_cleanup_enabled - enable/disable include cleanup
    • cpp_include_cleanup_add_missing - suggestion level for missing direct includes
    • cpp_include_cleanup_remove_unused - suggestion level for unused includes
    • cpp_include_cleanup_add_missing_error_tag_type - diagnostic level for VCIC001
    • cpp_include_cleanup_excluded_files - files to exclude from cleanup
    • cpp_include_cleanup_required_files - files always considered required
    • cpp_include_cleanup_header_remappings - header file remappings
    • cpp_include_cleanup_alternate_files - alternative header files
  • Added IntelliSense filter for Visual Studio rules (Alt+U) in completion

All properties include value validation, documentation links, and proper defaults per Microsoft's official documentation.

Example

These now work without warnings:

[*.cs]
spelling_languages = en-us,fr-fr
spelling_checkable_types = comments,strings
spelling_exclusion_path = .\\exclusion.dic
spelling_use_default_exclusion_dictionary = false
spelling_error_severity = information

[*.cpp]
cpp_include_cleanup_enabled = true
cpp_include_cleanup_add_missing = error
cpp_include_cleanup_remove_unused = warning
cpp_include_cleanup_excluded_files = io.h, windows.h
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Official keywords are not recognised</issue_title>
<issue_description>Official keywords like spelling_languages, spelling_checkable_types or cpp_include_cleanup_add_missing_error_tag_type are marked as EC112-Unknown.

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@madskristensen There's docs here on those properties https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/text-spell-checker?view=visualstudio

And here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/ide/include-cleanup-config?view=msvc-170

This should be fixed by updating the JSON file and the spell checker ones will need the VisuslStudio moniker in completion too</comment_new>

@copilot did you add all the properties from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/text-spell-checker?view=visualstudio and from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/id...

I've now added all properties from both documentation links. The complete list includes:

From spell checker docs:

  • spelling_languages ✓
  • spelling_checkable_types ✓
  • spelling_exclusion_path ✓

From C++ include cleanup docs:

  • cpp_include_cleanup_enabled ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_add_missing ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_remove_unused ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_add_missing_error_tag_type ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_excluded_files ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_required_files ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_header_remappings ✓
  • cpp_include_cleanup_alternate_files ✓

All 11 properties now have full metadata, tests, and proper categorization. Commit: c80d94b

@copilot Didn't you miss some spelling specific rules like spelling_use_default_exclusion_dictionary? Lol at the official doc link again for the missing properties
