Now that I have started writing more blog posts, I have been thinking more about spell checking. :)
Vim has a cool feature for spell checking. This can be done easily by
spell_check plugin, but vim has its
own spell option which
works much better and has native vim support.
NOTE: Spell doesn’t work as expected when syntax is disabled
To enable spell check, call :set spell spelllang=en_us. This will mark all
the words that are misspelled. In order to navigate to the misspelled word
hit ]s (for next misspelled word) or [s (for previous misspelled word).
Once on a misspelled word, you can either use zg to add the word to the list
of “good” words, or use z= to get correction suggestions from vim (This also
works for a word which isn’t highlighted as a “bad” word).
You can also use zw to remove current word from the spell file (list of
good words).
Another way of fixing the error is to use <C-x>s from the insert mode which
triggers an autocompletion form.
To turn spell mode off, call :set nospell.
See :h spell and :h compl-spelling for more details.
