FWIW, flyspell also has that feature, `flyspell-prog-mode'. I half-agree with you about on-the-fly spell checking, mostly because I find the inevitable false positives somewhat distracting. However, I still use it because, with both text and code, I find I'm often editing things where "done" is not a clearly-defined state. Emails are an exception, because eventually you send it and that's it. Most documents I work with aren't like that. I prefer to see the errors and fix them now, so they don't hang around in the document and/or my subconscious longer than necessary. John
