academic.nvim

This plugin installs and initializes an Academic English dictionary for Neovim. It configures the dictionary as the en-academic language, automatically adding it to Neovim's spelllang table.

Features

• Generates Neovim compatible .spl dictionary format from the Acamedic hunspell dictionary.
• Automatically re-generates .spl binaries when needed.
• Supports directly downloading dictionary from Acamedic source with optional dependencies.

Installation

You can install academic with your favourite plugin manager. For example, with lazy.nvim:

{
  "ficcdaf/academic.nvim",
  -- optional: only load for certain filetypes
  ft = {"markdown", "tex"}
}

If you are not using a plugin manager, you can clone this repository, add it to your runtime path, and then load the plugin in your Neovim configuration:

-- In your init.lua
require("academic").load()

academic.nvim will automatically run its setup logic as soon as it is loaded. There are currently no configuration options.

Optional Dependencies

If you wish to build your dictionary directly from Acamedic with the update function, you must have bash, curl, and unmunch available on your $PATH. unmunch is installed alongside hunspell on most systems. This functionality is optional. A reasonably up-to-date version of the dictionary is included with this plugin.

Usage

The following commands are provided:

User Command	Lua API	Requires Dependencies
AcademicUpdate	require("academic").update()	Yes
AcademicBuild	require("academic").generate_spellfile()	No
