description

Vim plugin for using the 'spell' Unix utility.  Provides commands to spell check the current buffer, or a range of lines in the current buffer, current word or a supplied string and to highlight misspelled words.  This plugin provides the functionality similar to that provided by the emacs spell.el script. This plugin provides the following commands:    1. Spell       Spell check lines in the current buffer.  The default behavior is to       spell check the entire buffer. You can specify an ex command-line       range to spell check only lines in that range. If a word is       misspelled, you will be prompted to enter the correct spelling for the       word.  If you enter the correct spelling, then you will be prompted       for replacing every occurrence of that word in the current buffer.  If       you press just enter, then the word will be skipped.  If you press       <Esc>, the spell check will be stopped.    2. SpellWord       Check the spelling of the current word under the cursor. If the word       is misspelled, you will be prompted for the correct spelling.  If you       enter the correct spelling, you will be prompted for replacing every       occurrence of that word in the current buffer.  If you press just       enter, then the word will be skipped.    3. SpellString <string>       Check the spelling of the supplied string.  All the misspelled words       in the string will be displayed.    4. SpellHighlight       Highlight all the misspelled words in the current buffer. This command       also takes a range of lines.    5. SpellHighlightClear       Clear the highlighting for the misspelled words. The 'spell' utility only checks the spelling and will not provide the alternatives (correct spelling) for a word.  As this plugin depends on the 'spell' utility, you will not get the correct spelling for a word.  You will only know whether a word is spelled correctly or not.
