What impressed me enormously was the auto-install helpfulness, even back in an older vim version. Without first installing any dictionaries, I set vim for Danish spellchecking: :set spell spelllang=da To which vim responded: » Shall I create /home/erik/.vim/spell # Answered y CR Cannot find spell file for da in utf-8 Do you want me to try downloading it? # Answered y CR Downloading da.utf-8.spl... :!curl 'http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/da.utf-8.spl' -o '/tmp/v5STjcI/0.spl' In which directory do you want to write the file: 1. /home/erik/.vim/spell [C]ancel, (1): 1 ~/.vim/spell/da.utf-8.spl [New] 2217L, 895285C written Do you want me to try getting the .sug file?

Oh well, trial and error works well enough, since it's usually the endings or glue letter in compounds which trip me up. It is actually quite easy to find, if you know how to use Vim's help system. Let's see, since spelling was a new feature for Vim 7, I usually go to :h new-spell There you'll find that z= is mentioned for spell suggestions. So place you cursor on z= and press again Ctrl-] and you'll jump right to the description of the z= help topic. Now z= is a normal node command, as you want a command, you can easily define yourself a command, that does what you want, e.g. :com! Spellsuggest norm! z= Now you can use the new command :Spellsuggest and vim will invoke the spelling suggestion for the word under the cursor. You can also read all about the spelling features, in the help file spell.txt. So :h spell.txt will give you all the glory details on how to use the spelling feature and how to create new spell files. regards, Christian

(There were only 72 hits in my helpgrep, so I might have got there eventually, but it was becoming tedious.) Time will tell whether z= sticks in my mind. Since s= doesn't appear to be to be used, I might just map it to that, since it's more mnemonic than zpelling. Either way, you've given me some useful reading.
