Thank you very much, Swaroop! This is (almost) the answer to my unrequested feature for spell checking, specially for gettext message catalogs (po files).
I tried editing the improved po.vim syntax script (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=913) and figured out a 95% good solution, which is adding ",@Spell" to the end of line 35. Now only the translations are checked, not the original messages. This is great, because I can really stop and look at what is marked as misspelled. The catch is: accelerator keys, like "F" in _File or &File, aren't included in the word as far as it concerns the spell checking. I.e., vim will try to check the spelling of "ile" instead of "File". The syntax file defines a different color for the accelerator keys, to make them more easily recognizable. Could I have the best of both worlds, highlighting the accelerator keys differently and still counting them as part of the word for spell checking? I'm sorry to ask for assistance, but I don't know vimscript (would learn, but don't have the time to) and the syntax file author said he won't have time for it. (The last update was more than a year ago.) Thanks! Leonardo Fontenelle 2007/5/21, Swaroop C H <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
