How can I replace all instances of a mispelled word during ispell?

Question

I can be remarkably consistent with my misspellings some times; in these instances while running ispell, I'd like to be able to hit something like C-u <correction number> (for instance) to replace all instances of the mispelling at once.

Is there a way to tell ispell to not only replace the current word with a suggestion, but all future instances of that word with the same correction?

(As if I were to exit, then run query-replace and then hit ! to replace all occurrences.)

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you switch on ispell-query-replace-choices by M-x customize-option ispell uses query-replace if it finds multiple occurrences of the miss-spelled word after you choose a replacement.

After the first correction it will go to the next occurrence and query you with the menu of query-replace-regexp. The most important menu choices are:

• ! replace all occurrences of the miss-spelled word with the chosen correction
• y replace this occurrence and go to the next occurrence
• q continue with the normal Ispell command loop

Using ispell-buffer, after replacing the first instance you can press "R" - which... yup, gives you query and replace. Not quite as convenient as what you're looking for but almost...
