If you're on a unix machine, you can pipe the lines to be
|
|
checked through unix spell.
|
|
|
|
Ex.
|
|
:%!spell
|
|
|
|
However, this must be undone immediately or you'll lose your
|
|
original text. An alternative way to do this is to save the file
|
|
and then run spell on it, reading the output into your current text file.
|
|
|
|
Ex.
|
|
:w!
|
|
:0r !spell %
|
|
|
|
This will put the misspelled words at the top of the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT I DO:
|
|
|
|
I use the following key mappings in my .exrc file to approximate
|
|
the word processor behavior of
|
|
automatically moving the cursor from one misspelled word to the next.
|
|
|
|
map S :w!:0r !spell %:1,s/^/\//1G
|
|
map F "kyy@k
|
|
|
|
Then a typical sequents is to hit S to run the spell checker, and load
|
|
the errors into the beginning of the file, hit F to load the word
|
|
into the find buffer, hit n to move on to the next occurrence of the word,
|
|
and dd when the cursor comes back to the first line of the file.

Is there any way, using vi (or a clone), I can put my cursor on
|
|
a word, hit a control-key sequence, and it will check the spelling
|
|
of that word, prompt me for a correct spelling, and correct it if
|
|
I so desire?
|
|
|
|
I basically want the same functionality as ispell, but when I try
|
|
it with ispell, it always assumes the word is a file name and
|
|
buggers out on me. I haven't found a working flag.
|
|
|
|
emacs has a M-x spell-word function, but I want it in vi. Any
|
|
ideas?

Try "spet", and a keymapping like:
|
|
|
|
map q !!spet -v -t3^M
|
|
|
|
This will spell the current line in verbose mode while ignoring
|
|
words with less than three characters in them.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
Let's say you wroote this and hit "q"
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The program spet is available from:
|
|
|
|
ftp : sun4nl.nluug.nl
|
|
dir : pub/textproc/txttools
|
|
file: spet-1.2.tar.Z

I don't know of any.

vi is a text editor, not a word processor. Why don't you just finish
|
|
the "document" while the thoughts are still flowing, and run it through
|
|
ispell when you are through. ispell will *automaticly* replace the
|
|
misspelled words with your word of choice.
|
|
|
|
Of course this doesn't always work so well with email or netnews postings.
|
|
|
|
Hope it helps (tm).

There are a couple of ways to do this. If you want to use ispell:
|
|
1. write the file to some tmp file
|
|
2. run ispell on the tmp file
|
|
3. replace the current doc with the correctly spelled tmp file.
|
|
that will spell check the whole document.
|
|
This can be done with the following map for function key 1
|
|
map #1 :w %^M:!ispell %^M^M^[:0r % ^MjdG^M
|
|
There are a couple of extra keys in this but it does work.
|
|
|
|
However, if you want put the cursor on a word, press Control-X and run
|
|
ispell on just that word and replace the word with the correct spelling,
|
|
then use the following map.
|
|
|
|
map ^X i^M^[ea^M^[b:.w! /tmp/x^M:!ispell /tmp/x^Mbdw:r /tmp/x^MkkJJJ^M
|
|
|
|
This map grabs the word, writes it to a file (/tmp/x), runs ispell on that
|
|
file, then replaces the word with the new contents of /tmp/x. If you are on
|
|
a multi-user system you may want to change the tmp file to something in your
|
|
home directory. This will leave tracks (/tmp/x and /tmp/x.bk) but they are
|
|
only one word long.
