I used M-x ispell
to spellcheck. When I finished, on the mini buffer a sentenced flashed quickly: "You can use s-:
" or something like that. What does s-:
stand for?

I am not sure for Macs, but on GNU/linux or Windows s
stand for the super/Windows key (usually left of the spacebar somewhere between Ctrl and Alt). Of course :
stands for the colon (usually Shift-semicolon), so here you would have to press super+shift+(semi)colon simultaneously.

Thanks. I searched for super key for mac but could't find anything useful. At least, now I know what "s" stands for.– zeynelDec 17, 2022 at 13:27

C-h w ispell RET
to find out to which key(s) the commandispell
is bound to. Maybe there is another one that is more convenient/accessible on MacOS.C-h e
.s-:
is listed. It's first time I see a binding for super key.emacs -Q
? If not, some init file (platform, or site, or personal) is probably defining it.
