How do I tell zsh to correct simple spelling mistakes automatically?

For example: I want lsbkl to automatically be corrected to lsblk, after hitting Enter, without showing zsh: correct 'lsbkl' to 'lsblk' [nyae]?.

Is this possible to achieve?

This will autocorrect the word to the left of the cursor whenever you press Space or Enter:

autocorrect() {
  zle .spell-word
  zle .$WIDGET
}
zle -N accept-line autocorrect
zle -N magic-space autocorrect
bindkey ' ' magic-space

  • I don't want to define the corrections by hand though.

  • @weisbrja I updated my answer with a solution that doesn't require manually defining corrections. Please have a look.
