Thanks for your reply,

I understand your point, but it seems that vim already tries not to check spelling in a variety of locations when editing latex files (labels, citations, \ commands...)
I mentioned these because in my documents they are the only place left where I think the spelling should not be done, but I am sure there a a lot more for commands I am not using that would have to be added so that would be really hard.

I would gladly put the specific rules in my after/ftplugin, but unfortunately I don't know exactly what to put there.
Could you please tell me what specifically I would put there or point me for some files with specific examples?

Thank you for the help.

Jorge.
