Let's start up vi:
$ vi
~ Vi IMproved
~
~ version 7.0aa ALPHA
~ by Bram Moolenaar et al.
~ Vim is open source and freely distributable
~
~ Help poor children in Uganda!
~ type :help iccf<Enter> for information
~
~ type :q<Enter> to exit
~ type :help<Enter> or <F1> for on-line help
~ type :help version7<Enter> for version info
|
To turn on spelling for English/US:
:setlocal spell spelllang=en_us
|
Put map commands in your .vimrc file to associate function keys with turning on and off the spell checking:
map <F10> <Esc>:setlocal spell spelllang=en_us<CR>
map <F11> <Esc>:setlocal nospell<CR>
|
With this mapping, F10 turns on spell checking, and F11 turns it off.
Here is what the spell check highlighting looks like:
