Re: Setting speller from a shell script

Thank you very much. It works perfectly now. I'm trilingual, english being
my 3rd language, so I need to change the spellers constantly depending on
the text.

For anyone wondering, here is my tiny script for spellchecker.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
sel=$(printf 'el\nde\nen' | fzf)
aspell -x -c --lang="$sel" $1
