How to spellcheck in Vim

Vim has built-in ability to perform spellcheck. The VimCasts video on spellcheck gives a good summary of these features.

• Use the set spelllang option to set the language to be used for spellcheck. For example, to set International English, add this to your vimrc:

set spelllang=en

• To perform a spellcheck use :set spell. The wrongly spelled words are marked in Vim.

• ]s to jump to next misspelled word.

• z= to see suggestions for misspelled word under cursor.

• zg to add misspelled word under cursor to your personal spellfile. Remember it as adding a good word.

• zG to ignore the misspelled word under cursor for this session.

• zw to mark correctly spelled word under cursor as a misspelling. Remember it as adding a wrong word.

The spellfile can be found in ~/.vim/spell/. For example, mine is named en.utf-8.add
