I used to use spellchecking with micro, i keep a quick note as i always forget how to set it up.
This was my note.

##############  MY ADDED SHORCUTS  #######################

.config/micro/bindings.json
{
    "Alt-/": "lua:comment.comment",
    "CtrlUnderscore": "lua:comment.comment",
    "Alt-l": "lua:initlua.toggleAspell",
    "Tab": "Autocomplete|lua:aspell.acceptsug|IndentSelection|InsertTab"
    "AltA": "lua:aspell.addpersonal"
}

##############  ASpell  #######################

you'll have to use a lua script to achieve this. In ~/.config/micro/init.lua, you can make a function:

function toggleAspell(bp)
    bp.Buf:SetOptionNative("aspell.check", not bp.Buf.Settings["aspell.check"])
end

and then in ~/.config/micro/bindings.json, (if it not already) you can bind the function above:

{
    "Alt-l": "lua:initlua.toggleAspell"
}


Personal Dictionary list ~/.aspell.en.pws

Alt+Shift+A = Add word to personal dictionary.

However, although this used to work, pressing Alt-l does not do anything now?

I currently wonder why you need a extra lua script, since you could use lua:aspell.togglecheck directly or can't you?

[JackDinn]

I cant, it shows an error
micro -debug

use Ctrl+e to try: lua:aspell.togglecheck

Unknown command lua:aspell.togglecheck

EDIT:
I don't know, I definitely have Lua installed. I have removed and reinstalled micro but it just wont do anything with lua

lua:print("Hello, World!")

outputs
Unknown command lua:print("Hello, World!")
