option dictionary

Vim Reference

:help 'dictionary'
:help i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K

Short Description

Set comma separated list of dictionary files.

Example

On my system I have a dictionary file at /usr/share/dict/words, and I want to use it in Vim. So I set the path accordingly.

set dictionary=/usr/share/dict/words

Now I can complete from that dictionary using the insert mode command <C-x><C-k>.
