Spelling in Vi

After discovering a number of typos in my .txt files, a quick search found this Vim documentation file on spelling. I'll repeat the basics here, see the article for all the details.

Invoke Vi's spelling mode with this command

:setlocal spell spelllang=en_us

I used this to enable the Australian English dictionary

:setlocal spell spelllang=en_au

Now that words are highlighted, navigate between the highlighted words with:

• ]s - find next unknown word
• [s - find previous unknown word

With the cursor over a highlighted word:

• z= - show word replacement suggestions
• zg - add this word to the dictionary (try remembering 'Zhis is Good')
