Related, I saw that there is a way to use a different dictionary for the default. I primarily use BBEdit to write in LaTeX and so want to use, I think, the following:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Spelling:UseExcalibur -bool YES

I guess that I'm supposed to enter this in the command line, but how do I do that? In BBEdit Preferences, I've selected Install Command Line Tool and BBEdit tells me that it is installed. When I enter the above line in a blank document and try to Run, or Run in Terminal, nothing happens. When I open Terminal and paste this command into the prompt and hit Return, I get another prompt, but BBEdit shows the same dictionary.

How do I run the Command Line?

Also, how do I turn off the red underlines that appear beneath words following spell-checking and those words are skipped? "Check Spelling as You Type" is not checked, but I don't want the red underlines shown.

Thanks,
Randy
