Setting up VIM for blogging

• proselint

  9 4,280 4.6 Python

  A linter for prose.

  

Full list here. Since the tool is a linter, it sounds like it should work with language servers. I use CoC.nvim for LSP features. Thankfully some smart guys have figured out how to make proselint work with coc.nvim & coc-diagnostic (see here). Now it works for my blog posts just like clangd does for my C++ code.

• vim-autocorrect

  2 64 3.9 Vim Script

  Correct common typos and misspellings as you type in Vim

to make VIM replace each "veiw" with "view" on the fly (in insert mode). Vim-autocorrect is one of the plugins that come with predefined useful abbreviations.

• vim-lexical

  2 271 1.8 Vim Script

  Build on Vim’s spell/thes/dict completion

  

Looking for synonyms? VIM supports thesaurus, however it has to be configured. I was able to configure the built in feature but it needed a hack to handle multi word synonyms and I didn't like that. I've decided to install vim-lexical plugin. Just as the built in feature, the plugin needs a synonyms file to work: grabbed one from Project Gutenberg. Tell vim-lexical where the file is and initialize the plugin:
