If you want to set a spellcheck dictionary for the running session, type

Code:

:set spellcheck.languages ['en-US'] 
:set spellcheck.languages ['en-US', 'de-DE']
:set spellcheck.languages ['en-US', 'de-DE', 'fr-FR']

for only one or several languages at once.

To persist these settings, open config.py and add something like:

Code:

# Spellcheck
config.set('spellcheck.languages', ["en-US", "fr-FR", "de-DE"])

Related thread on the AVIF format and conversions with ImageMagick.

Just when I decided to give up JPEG for storing photos on my hard-disk and upon converting some folders with Nikon raw photos (*.nef) to JPEG2000, I stumble upon a variety of new image formats which all claim to be successors of the old JPEG. But although the “Joint Photographich Expert Group” is behind most of the effort, their work has – for the time...

in ~/.vimrc I note

GazL has – in the very first comment on this blog, below – presented a better solution with the shell built-in command read: read accepts some parameters and a call like
