Flyspell drivin' me nuts!

Flyspell drivin' me nuts!

[Christian Herenz]

Hi,

Using not the freshest emacs 22.3.1, so maybe that bug is solved...
I already checked the documentation on flyspell... It highlights words as you
mistype them. Then the documentations says, you can click with mouse-2 on them.
Fine, that works.. I get a list with possible corrections. Now I select the one
i want (either with mouse-1 or mouse-2, both dont work right), and the
correction is applied. But what freaks me out, is that in that moment the
content of the xclipboard is inserted at the original cursor position.

Guess that is because in X mouse-2 is bound to that action per default...

This is obviously a bug, or what? It should be recognized, that you actually
click a context menu, not that you just click mouse-2 to insert text...

Greetings,
Christian

Hi Christian,
In flyspell mode, I find ispell-word preferable, but I'm an inveterate
keyboard user. It is normally bound to Meta-$ (meta-shift-4 in the UK).

HTH,

OK, thats a good Tip and I for sure will use this for now. However, working with
the mouse should also work.
