ltex.enabled

Controls whether the extension is enabled. Allows disabling LanguageTool on specific workspaces or for specific code language modes (i.e., file types).

Either supply a Boolean value stating whether LTEX+ is enabled for all supported markup languages or disabled for all of them, or supply a list of code language identifiers for which LTEX+ should be enabled (note that extensions can define additional code language identifiers).

All supported markup languages are listed in the default value of this setting. In addition, LTEX+ can check comments in many popular programming languages like C++ or Java, if you add the corresponding code language identifiers to this setting. If you add an unsupported code language mode, LTEX+ will check corresponding files as plain text without any parsing.

The activation events are unaffected by this setting. This means that the extension will be activated whenever a file with a supported code language mode is opened. For unsupported code language modes, you may need to activate the extension explicitly by executing the LTeX: Activate Extension` command.

Changes require restarting LTEX+ to take effect.

ltex.language

The language (e.g., "en-US") LanguageTool should check against. If possible, use a specific variant like "en-US" or "de-DE" instead of the generic language code like "en" or "de" to obtain spelling corrections (in addition to grammar corrections).

When using the language code "auto", LTEX+ will try to detect the language of the document. This is not recommended, as only generic languages like "en" or "de" will be detected and thus no spelling errors might be reported. For some generic language codes like "es" (Spanish), spelling errors are reported even though the language codes are generic.

ltex.hiddenFalsePositives

Lists of false-positive diagnostics to hide (by hiding all diagnostics of a specific rule within a specific sentence).

This setting is language-specific, so use an object of the format {"<LANGUAGE1>": ["<JSON1>", "<JSON2>", ...], "<LANGUAGE2>": ["<JSON1>", "<JSON2>", ...], ...}, where <LANGUAGE> denotes the language code in ltex.language and <JSON> is a JSON string containing information about the rule and sentence.

Although it is possible to manually edit this setting, the intended way is the Hide false positive quick fix.

The JSON string currently has the form {"rule": "<RULE>", "sentence": "<SENTENCE>"}, where <RULE> is the ID of the LanguageTool rule and <SENTENCE> is a Java-compatible regular expression. All occurrences of the given rule are hidden in sentences (as determined by the LanguageTool tokenizer) that match the regular expression. See the documentation for details.

This setting is a multi-scope setting. See the documentation for details.

This setting supports external files. See the documentation for details.

If this list is very large, performance may suffer.

ltex.bibtex.fields

List of BibTEX fields whose values are to be checked in BibTEX files.

This setting is an object with the field names as keys (not restricted to classical BibTEX fields) and Booleans as values, where true means that the field value should be checked and false means that the field value should be ignored.

Some common fields are already ignored, even if you set this setting to an empty object.

Type: object

Example: {"maintitle": false, "seealso": true}

Default: {}

Full type description:

Object with arbitrary property names, where the value of each property has the following type:

  • Scalar of type boolean

ltex.latex.commands

List of LATEX commands to be handled by the LATEX parser, listed together with empty arguments (e.g., "\ref{}", "\documentclass[]{}").

This setting is an object with the commands as keys and corresponding actions as values.

If you edit the settings.json file directly, don’t forget to escape the initial backslash by replacing it with two backslashes. If you use the VS Code Settings panel, only type one backslash.

Many common commands are already handled by default, even if you set this setting to an empty object.

Type: object

Example: {"\\label{}": "ignore", "\\documentclass[]{}": "ignore", "\\cite{}": "dummy", "\\cite[]{}": "dummy"}

Default: {}

Full type description:

Object with arbitrary property names, where the value of each property has the following type:

  • One of the following values:

    • "default": The command is treated like unknown commands are treated by default: The command name itself is ignored, but the arguments are not ignored.
    • "ignore": The whole command together with its arguments is ignored.
    • "dummy": The whole command together with its arguments is replaced with a dummy word (i.e., Dummy0, Dummy1, etc.). LTEX+ internally uses this mechanism for equations, citations, references, and similar constructs that are part of the sentence structure and for which LanguageTool would throw an error if simply omitted from the checked text.
    • "pluralDummy": The whole command together with its arguments is replaced with a plural dummy word (i.e., Dummies). See description for "dummy".
    • "vowelDummy": The whole command together with its arguments is replaced with a vowel dummy word (i.e., Ina). See description for "dummy".

ltex.latex.environments

List of names of LATEX environments to be handled by the LATEX parser.

This setting is an object with the environment names as keys and corresponding actions as values.

Some environments are already handled by default, even if you set this setting to an empty object.

Type: object

Example: {"lstlisting": "ignore", "verbatim": "ignore"}

Default: {}

Full type description:

Object with arbitrary property names, where the value of each property has the following type:

  • One of the following values:

    • "default": The environment is treated like unknown environments are treated by default: The arguments of the environment are ignored, but the contents of the environment are not ignored.
    • "ignore": The whole environment together with its arguments and contents is ignored.

ltex.markdown.nodes

List of Markdown node types to be handled by the Markdown parser.

This setting is an object with the node types as keys and corresponding actions as values.

The Markdown parser constructs an AST (abstract syntax tree) for the Markdown document, in which all leaves have node type Text. The possible node types are listed in the documentation of flexmark-java.

Some common node types are already handled by default, even if you set this setting to an empty object.

Type: object

Example: {"CodeBlock": "ignore", "FencedCodeBlock": "ignore", "AutoLink": "dummy", "Code": "dummy"}

Default: {}

Full type description:

Object with arbitrary property names, where the value of each property has the following type:

  • One of the following values:

    • "default": The node is not treated specially.
    • "ignore": The whole node together with its Text leaves is ignored.
    • "dummy": The whole node together with its Text leaves is replaced with a dummy word (i.e., Dummy0, Dummy1, etc.). LTEX+ internally uses this mechanism for example for inline code (inside backticks) that is part of the sentence structure and for which LanguageTool would throw an error if simply omitted from the checked text.
    • "pluralDummy": The whole node together with its Text leaves is replaced with a plural dummy word (i.e., Dummies). See description for "dummy".
    • "vowelDummy": The whole node together with its Text leaves is replaced with a vowel dummy word (i.e., Ina). See description for "dummy".

Type: boolean

Default: false

ltex.additionalRules.motherTongue

Optional mother tongue of the user (e.g., "de-DE").

If set, additional rules will be checked to detect false friends. Picky rules may need to be enabled in order to see an effect (see ltex.additionalRules.enablePickyRules). False friend detection improves if a language model is supplied (see ltex.additionalRules.languageModel).

ltex.languageToolHttpServerUri

If set to a non-empty string, LTEX+ will not use the bundled, built-in version of LanguageTool. Instead, LTEX+ will connect to an external LanguageTool HTTP server. Set this setting to the root URI of the server, and do not append v2/check or similar.

Note that in this mode, the settings ltex.additionalRules.languageModel, ltex.additionalRules.neuralNetworkModel, and ltex.additionalRules.word2VecModel will not take any effect.

Please note that the premium API of languagetool.org has a size limit per request (see languagetool.org/http-api/). As a workaround, you can use magic comments to split a larger file into multiple fragments, which are then sent separately for checking (see Magic comments).

Type: string

Example: "http://localhost:8081/"

Default: ""

ltex.languageToolOrg.username

Username/email as used to log in at languagetool.org for Premium API access. Only relevant if ltex.languageToolHttpServerUri is set.

Type: string

Default: ""

ltex.languageToolOrg.apiKey

API key for Premium API access. Only relevant if ltex.languageToolHttpServerUri is set.

Type: string

Default: ""

ltex.ltex-ls.path

If set to an empty string, LTEX+ automatically downloads ltex-ls from GitHub, stores it in the folder of the extension, and uses it for the checking process. You can point this setting to an ltex-ls-plus release you downloaded by yourself.

Use the path to the root directory of ltex-ls-plus (it contains bin and lib subdirectories).

Changes require restarting LTEX+ to take effect.

Type: string

Default: ""

ltex.ltex-ls.logLevel

Logging level (verbosity) of the ltex-ls-plus server log, which is accessible via View › Output › LTEX Language Server`.

The levels in descending order are "severe", "warning", "info", "config", "fine", "finer", and "finest". All messages that have the specified log level or a higher level are logged.

ltex-ls does not use all log levels.

Type: string

Possible values:

  • "severe": Minimum verbosity. Only log severe errors.
  • "warning": Very low verbosity. Only log severe errors and warnings.
  • "info": Low verbosity. Additionally, log startup and shutdown messages.
  • "config": Medium verbosity. Additionally, log configuration messages.
  • "fine": Medium to high verbosity (default). Additionally, log when LanguageTool is called or LanguageTool has to be reinitialized due to changed settings.
  • "finer": High verbosity. Log additional debugging information such as full texts to be checked.
  • "finest": Maximum verbosity. Log all available debugging information.

Default: "fine"

ltex.java.path

If set to an empty string, LTEX+ uses a Java distribution that is bundled with ltex-ls-plus. You can point this setting to an existing Java installation on your computer to use that installation instead.

Use the same path as you would use for the JAVA_HOME environment variable (it usually contains bin and lib subdirectories, amongst others).

Changes require restarting LTEX+ to take effect.

Type: string

Default: ""

ltex.java.initialHeapSize

Initial size of the Java heap memory in megabytes (corresponds to Java’s -Xms option, must be a positive integer).

Decreasing this might decrease RAM usage of the Java process.

Changes require restarting LTEX+ to take effect.

Type: integer

Default: 64

ltex.java.maximumHeapSize

Maximum size of the Java heap memory in megabytes (corresponds to Java’s -Xmx option, must be a positive integer).

Decreasing this might decrease RAM usage of the Java process. If you set this too small, the Java process may exceed the heap size, in which case an OutOfMemoryError is thrown.

Changes require restarting LTEX+ to take effect.

Type: integer

Default: 2048

ltex.sentenceCacheSize

Size of the LanguageTool ResultCache in sentences (must be a positive integer).

If only a small portion of the text changed (e.g., a single key press in the editor), LanguageTool uses the cache to avoid rechecking the complete text. LanguageTool internally splits the text into sentences, and sentences that have already been checked are skipped.

Decreasing this might decrease RAM usage of the Java process. If you set this too small, checking time may increase significantly.

Changes require restarting LTEX+ to take effect.

Type: integer

Default: 2000

ltex.completionEnabled

Controls whether completion is enabled (also known as auto-completion, quick suggestions, and IntelliSense).

If this setting is enabled, then a list of words is displayed that complete the currently typed word (whenever the editor sends a completion request).

In VS Code, completion is enabled by default while typing (via editor.quickSuggestions). Therefore, this setting is disabled by default, as constantly displaying completion lists might annoy the user. It is recommended to enable this setting, but disable editor.quickSuggestions. Then, LTEX+ completions can be requested by pressing Ctrl+Space.

Type: boolean

Default: false

ltex.diagnosticSeverity

Severity of the diagnostics corresponding to the grammar and spelling errors.

Controls how and where the diagnostics appear in Visual Studio Code. The possible severities are "error", "warning", "information", and "hint".

This setting can either be a string with the severity to use for all diagnostics, or an object with rule-dependent severities. If an object is used, each key is the ID of a LanguageTool rule and each value is one of the possible severities. In this case, the severity of other rules, which don’t match any of the keys, has to be specified with the special key "default".

Type: string or object

Examples:

  • "information"
  • {"PASSIVE_VOICE": "hint", "default": "information"}

Default: "information"
