| This probably deserves an RTFM, but what does "map <A-e>" map to? Meaning what keys do I hit to run the command?

Nice tip, I've been looking for something like this.
I don't know what <A-e> maps to, but I've mapped it to ,s (which is easier to remember!)
map ,s :!echo <cword> \| ispell -a -- <return>

| <A-e> maps to Alt-e as per the manual

| you can append ;read after the pipe to be able to see the actual output from ispell

My little twist on this:
to search the word under the cursor in normal mode:
:nmap sp :!echo <C-r><C-w> \| aspell -a<CR>
to search the current visual selection:
:vmap sp y:!echo <C-r>" \| aspell -a<CR>
Now, if you want to check the word under the cursor in Insert mode, you can do:
<Ctrl+O>sp
I'm not sure I like the keystroke "sp" for normal mode, since I use vim's default mapping of "s" (:he s) a lot. this would only conflict if I wanted to "s" and insert something that started with a "p". I'll change it if it becomes a problem for me. You can do the same.
