Article-I.D.: houxs.141 Posted: Mon Jun 7 12:26:55 1982 Received: Tue Jun 8 02:33:16 1982 Gosling's emacs has had an interactive spelling checker available with it (almost) since it came out. If you are a Vi fan, there was a set of vi macros published on the net last year. Maybe it's time to republicize it. To use it, set: EXINIT='map #1 Gi/\<^V^[A\>^V^["add@a|map #2 1G!Gvispell^V^[' (The ^V and ^[ should actually be the ctl-V and escape keys, respectively.) Use function key two to start the spelling check. Use function key one to go to the next wrong word. (Use 'n' to continue the search.) You need a small shell to go with this, called 'vispell': ---------------- tee /tmp/vis$$ echo SpellingList spell /tmp/vis$$ rm /tmp/vis$$ ---------------- When f1 comes back with "SpellingList not found", you've exhausted the list of bad words.
