Most common spell checking commands

  • M-$ (or Esc $, or C-[ $) to run ispell-word. It checks the spelling of the word under the cursor, and offer suggestions. Press i to insert the word to your personal dictionary.

Even though the command is ispell-word, on my Arch Linux system, inserted/saved words are saved to ~/.hunspell_en_US.

  • C-; to run flyspell-auto-correct-previous-word when the point is some chars after the word to be corrected. Keep pressing C-; to loop through the suggestions.
