Force flyspell to go to the end of the word when autocorrecting word in Emacs

I have found it annoying that flyspell seems to stay in the middle of the word when you do flyspell-auto-correct-word command. Can this be changed to force it to go to the end of the word after running the command? It might be as simple as setting a…

personal dictionaries in emacs flyspell-mode

I'd like to make flyspell aware of certain words I use frequently--like foreign proper names, etc. But I don't want flyspell to think that this list is a complete dictionary; rather I'd like it to take the union of this list and its default…

How to limit the number of "suggestions" that flyspell gives?

In emacs flyspell mode, sometimes the list of suggestions is really long, so that the pop-up menu is taller than the screen and requires vertical scrolling of the menu because the "Save word" option is at the bottom of the menu. Is there a way to to…

Selective flyspell mode?

I use flyspell-mode when writing blog posts. The problem I'm having is that I blog about code a lot, and flyspell predictably highlights most of the "words" in that code as misspellings. Is there any way to get it to ignore blocks of text between…

User Interaction Improvements to Flyspell Correct Word

I think the behavior of flyspell-correct-word should be extended to a command that corrects all occurrences of the misspelled word of interest. This of course is not relevant for syntactic errors in the underlying spelling correction. I don't know…

how to get GNU Emacs spellcheck to find user's personal dictionary on OSX?

I switched from Aquamacs to GNU Emacs. Before, when Aquamacs thought a word was misspelled, I could right-click to "Learn Spelling." (I also had an option to Ignore Spelling to get it to unflag the word for that buffer only.) In GNU Emacs, I'm…

Is it possible to auto-correct spelling "on space" in Emacs?

I wish there were a way so that when I mistype a word, flyspell could autocorrect it to the "most likely" correction. When I mistype a word and then hit OPTION-TAB to correct it, flyspell ALMOST ALWAYS picks the correct correction by default as the…

How can I add a word to the dictionary in flyspell without using a mouse? I know, I can use the regular ispell.el binding M-$ and and go through the menu for that, however, this needs multiple keystrokes. Is it possible to bind the "Save Word"…
