Spell checking⌗

To enable spell checking in vim, use the command set spell. This will highlight misspelled words in your markdown files.

To enable spell checking:

:set spell
:set spelllang=en_us

Spelling suggestions can be accessed with z=. This will open a window with suggestions for the misspelled word.

If you want to add a word to your dictionary, use the command zg.

Or to manually add a word to your dictionary:

:spellgood YOUR_WORD

Line wrapping⌗

Set your line width to 80 characters. This is a good width for readability and makes it easier to read your markdown files on different devices.

To set your line width to 80 characters:

:set textwidth=80

Use the command gq to format a paragraph in markdown. This is useful for when you are writing a paragraph and it is too long to fit on the screen.

To format your current line:

gq

To format a paragraph in normal mode:

gqap

Markdown preview⌗

I like the nvim plugin MeanderingProgrammer/markdown.nvim for markdown preview.

It will render your markdown file inline when in normal mode.
