vim: spellchecker suggestions
β’ 164 words β’ 1 min β’ updated
When you have the spellchecker from
vimturned on (:set spell), it highlights words that are not in the dictionary.
It turns out vim1 can also suggest corrections to these words.
:h z=:
z= For the word under/after the cursor suggest correctly
spelled words. This also works to find alternatives
for a word that is not highlighted as a bad word,
e.g., when the word after it is bad.
In Visual mode the highlighted text is taken as the
word to be replaced.
The results are sorted on similarity to the word being
replaced.
This may take a long time. Hit CTRL-C when you get
bored.For example: take the word exampl. When pressing z=:
Change "exampl" to:
1 "example"
2 "example" < "exampl."
3 "exam pl"
4 "exempt"
5 "exam Pl"
6 "exam"Upon pressing 1<Enter> it is automatically replaced.
Alternatively we can skip the suggestions and simply pick the first
one right away
with 1z=.
