spell-under

This spell-under is a simple vim plugin to change highlight scheme of spelling checker to use "UNDERLINE" instead of default "REVERSE" for color terminals when :colorscheme is set.

This enables you to use both :syntax on and :set spell by avoiding unreadable text situation due to matched reversed background color and syntax highlighted foreground text color.

Installation

The latest version of spell-under is available on github. 1

This plugin follows the vim standard runtime path structure, and as such it can be installed with a variety of plugin managers:

Plugin Manager	Install with...
Pathogen	cd ~/.vim/bundle/vim-spell-under && git clone https://github.com/osamuaoki/vim-spell-under Remember to run :Helptags to generate help tags
Vundle	Plugin 'osamuaoki/vim-spell-under'
Plug	Plug 'osamuaoki/vim-spell-under'
VAM	call vam#ActivateAddons([ 'vim-spell-under' ])
Dein	call dein#add('osamuaoki/vim-spell-under')
minpac	call minpac#add('osamuaoki/vim-spell-under')
manual	copy all of the files into your ~/.vim directory
manual (vim>=8)	cd ~/.vim/pack/somepath/start && git clone https://github.com/osamuaoki/vim-spell-under Remember to run :Helptags to generate help tags

The author of this script uses an extended installation approach based on "manual (vim>8)" with a shell script based menu system. See osamuaoki/dot-vim.

How it works

Once spell-under is installed, Vim behaves as follows:

• If g:spell_under is unset in .vimrc, spell-under executes :colorscheme murphy and fixes up spell checker to use "UNDERLINE".
• If .vimrc has let g:spell_under='<scheme>', spell-under executes :colorscheme <scheme> and fixes up spell checker to use "UNDERLINE".
• If .vimrc has let g:spell_under='NONE', spell-under doesn't executes :colorscheme <scheme>.
• When you execute colorscheme <scheme> from any scipt after parsing this plugin or from the vim command prompt, vim sets colorscheme accordingly and fixes up spell checker to use "UNDERLINE".
• If g:loaded_spell_under is set to 1, spell-under plugin has been loaded.
