Turn Vim into a Spell Checker | Vim 🔥 Tips and Tricks

Vim is great for writing prose. These two bindings turn Vim into a spell checking powerhouse. Once you turn on spell mode, you can see anything Vim considers a misspelling. From there, you can ask for help fixing the typos with Vim's dictionary of "good words". If there are any words that should be valid that Vim doesn't know about, you can add them to your personal word list. Vim will use those as part of future spell checking.

Thank you muchly, bruv. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to work following written instructions. I see you are a relatively young channel, so I've subbed. Thanks again.

Do you create vim shortcuts to the standard keybindings, or have you just learned and engrained the defaults ([s, s[, z= zg) and stick to them? They dont seem very natural to me at the moment, and its slow for me to go through my spelling mistakes.
