Fix Grammar Only
{{ai:fix}}Fix Grammar (Keep Voice Strictly)
{{ai:custom:fix only spelling and grammar errors. Do not rephrase, do not restructure, do not change wording beyond what is required to fix actual errors. Preserve voice and tone exactly.}}Light Copy Edit
{{ai:custom:do a light copy edit. Fix grammar and spelling, tighten redundant phrases, but keep the original wording wherever possible.}}When to use this template
- Quick proof on an email before sending. Highlight, fire zfix, the typos are gone but your phrasing isn't touched.
- Cleaning up notes from a fast-typing meeting where you didn't fix typos as you went.
- Writing in a second language. zfixv catches grammar errors without smoothing your prose into something that doesn't sound like you.
- Pull request descriptions and commit messages where grammar matters but rewording would hide what you meant.
Customize for your workflow
- Use zfixv when voice matters most (your blog drafts, personal email). It's stricter about preserving wording.
- Use zedit when you want a light pass that also tightens up redundant phrases. Closer to a copy edit than a spell check.
- Pair with a global keyboard shortcut and bind it to muscle memory. Most useful when you don't have to type the abbreviation first.
Common questions
Will it change British spellings to American or vice versa?
Generally no — these snippets are tuned to preserve your style. If you want to standardize, write a custom snippet with the modifier 'normalize to British English' or 'normalize to American English'.
Does it handle code blocks or technical terms?
Mostly yes. AI providers know not to 'fix' identifiers like camelCase or snake_case. If something gets mangled, undo (Cmd+Z) restores the original.
Is this faster than a built-in spell checker?
For multi-paragraph prose, yes. Spell checkers catch one error at a time. AI fix-grammar processes the whole selection in one pass.
