This version of Ved contains an integrated spelling checker--no more excuses for bad spelling!
In order to access any of the spelling options, Ved must have access to its dictionary containing in the file ved_dict.mod. This file contains binary data loaded into memory the first time any of the spelling options are accessed. By default, Ved will search for this file in the following locations:
- The users home directory,
- For the same file in the home directory, but prefaced with a single ``.''.
- In the directory /usr/local/etc/,
- And, finally, in the directory /usr/etc/.
The spelling dictionary is a highly compressed and indexed file containing approximately 85,000 words. It is loaded into user memory only when needed.
You can include your own personal lists of words. By default, no personal list is used. However, you can specify a list by setting the RC option
spell Personal_dict
to the name of the file containing your list (see page
). If set, Ved will attempt to read this file the first time the spelling options are accessed. This list does not need to be in any order, nor is there a limit on its size (apart from available memory). The personal word list will remain in memory until you exit Ved. Note that the personal dictionary is unique to each incarnation of Ved you have running on your system. By setting different values in your RC file for different users, you can have a different personal dictionary for each user or specific tasks.
