Configuration

The module table returned from require(...) has some configuration options:

• cmd: cmd that is passed to popen() and must return word corrections in Ispell format.
  • default: enchant -d %s
• list_cmd: cmd that is passed to popen() and must output a list of misspelled words.
  • default: enchant -l -d %s
• default_lang: The name of the used dictionary if the opened file does not specify one. The selected language is inserted in the cmd-strings at %s.
  • default: $LANG or en_US
• typo_style: The style string with which misspellings should be highlighted when using the full viewport method
  • default: fore:red
• check_tokens: A table mapping all token names we consider for spellchecking to true
  • default: {[vis.lexers.STRING]=true, [vis.lexers.COMMENT]=true, [vis.lexers.DEFAULT]=true}
• disable_syntax_awareness: Disable the syntax aware spellchecking and use always full viewport
  • default: false

A possible configuration could look like this:

spellcheck = require(...)
spellcheck.cmd = "aspell -l %s -a"
spellcheck.list_cmd = "aspell list -l %s -a"
spellcheck.default_lang = "de_DE"

Changing language during runtime:

:set spelllang en_US
