Did you know that? I didn’t. I just started this blog and I’ve been using Neovim to type my markdown posts. The only thing I felt was missing was a spell checker, so I DDG it up. Turns out Vim and Neovim have had a spell checker since over 10 years. To be fair, I only started using Vim (then Neovim) just a year or 2 ago. To enable temporary spell check for English do: # :setlocal spell spelllang=en_us You will then notice a colored wavy line under misspelled words as you would expect from any spell checker.
