Custom wordlists

1. Create your word list in a new line separated manner:

custom
words
are
the
best

or in the same JSON format as the official ones:

{
  "metadata" : {
    "name" : "My words",
    "size" : 5,
    "packagedAt" : "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "version" : 1
  },
  "words": [ "custom", "words", "are", "the", "best" ]
}

1. Place your configuration to platform specific location:

Platform	User configuration
Windows	%APPDATA%\typioca\typioca.conf or C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\typioca\typioca.conf
Linux	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/typioca/typioca.conf or $HOME/.config/typioca/typioca.conf
macOS	$HOME/Library/Application Support/typioca/typioca.conf

Config example (it is TOML):

[[words]]
  name      = "Best hits '22"
  enabled   = false
  sentences = false
  path      = "/home/words/best-hits-22.json"
[[words]]
  name      = "Even better hits '23"
  enabled   = true
  sentences = false
  path      = "/home/words/better-hits-23.json"

1. Use your words!

Note: Notice that custom wordlist controls are greyed-out, personal configuration must be handled via the file only.
