Zsh’s spelling correction feature is designed to correct typos in command names. It works by suggesting corrections when an unrecognized command is entered, and the user can accept or reject these suggestions. This feature is enabled by default but can be customized using setopt and unsetopt commands.

To customize this feature, you can use ‘setopt CORRECT’ to enable it if it’s not already on. If you want Zsh to automatically correct your command without asking for confirmation, use ‘setopt CORRECT_ALL’. To disable this feature, use ‘unsetopt CORRECT’ or ‘unsetopt CORRECT_ALL’.

You can also control how Zsh suggests corrections. By setting the ‘SPROMPT’ variable, you can change the prompt that appears when a correction is suggested. For example, ‘SPROMPT=”Correct %R to %r? [Yes, No, Abort, Edit]”‘ would change the prompt accordingly.
