Check Spelling

Qedit has built-in commands to use Spell’s dictionaries to perform integrated spell-checking. The Spell command spell-checks a line range, while the Words command spell-checks or searches for words.

  /spell                {check current line}  /spell @              {check current file}  /spell 10/20          {check lines 10 through 20}  /spell "xyz"          {check lines containing "xyz"}  /spellj 10/20         {check lines 10 through 20 and}                        {modify lines with misspellings}  /words "rigth"         {check the word "rigth"}  not found : rigth  /words "quicks@"       {find words prefixed with "quicks"}  word          : quicks  prefix        : quicksand                : quicksands                : quicksilver                : quickstep  4 matches  /words "vegetable!"   {find sound-alikes for "vegetable"}  word          : vegetable  soundex       : vegetable                : vestibule                : visitable  3 matches  

If your UDC or command file for running the spell checker program is also called “Spell”, you must change its name. You must use :Spell to access the UDC.

  /:spell file         {we suggest "spellf" instead}
