Having that on the context menu for the misspelled word would be great! If that menu offered to disable it for good all the better (with a "Use Tools -> Spell Checking to enable" message in the echo area when chosen). I'd love if there were mouse-3 context menu's for all visual indications = in Emacs, to help with learning features, and as the main way access feature= s I use rarely. I'm getting older and less interested in remembering key bindings for everything. For example, it would be great if outline-minor-mode offered a mouse-3 menu to Show Entry and Show All on the "...". (I would also love to have mouse-1 invoke Show Entry, but I guess that is a separate can of worms.) -- Ren=E9=20
