Aspell plugin

The text will be checked for misspells as you type. It understands the syntax of XML, HTML, TeX and Markdown. On C++, C and Perl only comments and string literals will be checked.

You need to have Aspell installed and available in your PATH. It does not come with this plugin. If you are on Windows, you can install Aspell through MSYS2.

Options

• aspell.check: controls whether spellchecking is performed. Possible values are on, off and auto. When set to auto, only XML, C++, C, HTML, Perl TeX and Markdown documents will be spellchecked. Defaults to auto.

• aspell.lang: language to use. Two letter language code, optionally followed by an underscore or a dash and a two letter country code. It will be passed to Aspell in the --lang option.

• aspell.dict: dictionary to use. Run aspell dicts in a terminal to see available dictionaries. It will be passed to Aspell in the --master option.

If both aspell.dict and aspell.lang are left empty (which is the default), Aspell will follow locale settings.

• aspell.sugmode: one of ultra, fast, normal, slow or bad-spellers. It will be passed to Aspell in the --sug-mode option. Defaults to normal. You may wish to change it to fast, if you feel that the spellchecking is too slow. For an explanation of what each option does, see http://aspell.net/man-html/Notes-on-the-Different-Suggestion-Modes.html

• aspell.args: additional command line arguments, that will be passed to Aspell.

When you change some of these settings while in Micro using setlocal or set, you might not see the effect until you modify a buffer.

You can also disable or enable spellchecking for specific file types in your settings.json:

{
    "*.txt": {
        "aspell.check": "on"
    },
    "ft:markdown": {
        "aspell.check": "off"
    }
}

Commands

• addpersonal: adds the word the cursor is on to your personal dictionary, so that it won't be highlighted as a misspell anymore. You can bind it to a key as lua:aspell.addpersonal.

• acceptsug 'n'?: accepts the nth suggestion for the word the cursor is on. You can bind it to a key as lua:aspell.acceptsug. If n is not provided or this command is invoked with a keyboard shortcut, it will start to cycle through the suggestions. Use Tab and Backtab to cycle through them.

You can also use them in chain keybindings with ,, & and | (see help keybindings). Example bindings.json:

{
    "Tab": "Autocomplete|lua:aspell.acceptsug|IndentSelection|InsertTab"
}
