description

This script is based on Claudio Fleiner's spell checker and uses ispell (or aspell) and awk to highlight spelling errors, and provides mappings to correct them, with suggestions. It is possible to set up the script to do automatic spellchecking (à la word --- the current visible window is checked, and errors are highlighted as soon as the cursor is idle for 1 second). For that, either redefine the spell_auto_type variable (let spell_auto_type="tex,doc,mail") or add the following line in the ftplugin script associated with the filetypes for which you would like such a feature (~/.vim/ftplugin/text.vim, for example) : if  !(&readonly;) && exists("loaded_vimspell")    :SpellAutoEnable endif      (For the example to work, be sure that "text" is a defined filetype ---  :help new-filetype) Much more documentation on all options can be found at the beginning of the script. Feedback is welcome ....
