Documentation

Toggle last-word spell checking (Ispell minor mode).

Ispell minor mode is a buffer-local minor mode. When enabled, typing SPC or RET warns you if the previous word is incorrectly spelled.

All the buffer-local variables and dictionaries are ignored. To read them into the running Ispell process, type M-$ (ispell-word) SPC.

For spell-checking "on the fly", not just after typing SPC or RET, use flyspell-mode(var)/flyspell-mode(fun).

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the ISpell minor mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate ispell-minor-mode(var)/ispell-minor-mode(fun).

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.
