Question

I wan’t to have a function that turns spell check on then go’s to the next misspelled word and replaces with the first suggestion heres what I’ve got so far:

function! Spell_new_word()
  set spell=true
  exe ']s'
  exe '1z='
  set spell=false
endfunction

but it only seems to set spelling to true and doesn’t do anything…. what am I doing wrong?

UPDATE:

I’ve tired changing exe to normal, but still no luck:

function! Spell_new_word()
  set spell!
  normal ']s'
  normal '1z='
  set spell!
endfunction

UPDATE 2:

I’ve tired this and it still doesn’t work:

function! Spell_new_word()
  set spell
  normal ]s
  normal 1z=
  set nospell
endfunction

But I don’t think that is the problem I think thats its not binding to ,d:

let mapleader = ","
namp ,d Spell_next_word()

Answer 1

nnoremap ,d :call Spell_next_word()^M

things to note:

1. choose mode (normal mode, no remapping)
2. include : to enter command mode
3. call the function
4. Execute it! The ^M is normally entered with C-vEnter on linux, or C-QEnter on Windows

Additionally, perhaps include

inoremap ,d ^O:call Spell_next_word()^M

(again typeing the ^O as C-vC-o or C-QC-o)
