I would like to do a sort of flyspell-goto-next-error but without first having to run flyspell-buffer or flyspell-region.

How could this be accomplished?

In other words: keep "flyspell-buffering" until a spelling error is found and then invoke flyspell-word (M-$).

In my case, I cannot run ispell-buffer because I would like to use flyspell-babel.el, which uses Flyspell.

The non-flying ispell-buffer will search the buffer for errors and then prompt for a correction when it finds one.

  • In my case, I cannot run ispell-buffer because I would like to use flyspell-babel.el, which uses Flyspell. (Or perhaps there is something similar to flyspell-babel.el that uses ispell / aspell only?)

  • Is there a way to run ispell-buffer from the current point?

    @Geremia Do you mean to spell check the word at the point? ispell-word (M-$) does that.

  • I suppose what I want to do is run ispell, pause it for editing, and then resume it from wherever I happen to have placed the point.
