@item M-$
Check and correct spelling of the word at point (@code{ispell-word}).
If the region is active, do it for all words in the region instead.
+@item C-u M-$
+If a previous spelling operation was interrupted, continue that
+operation (@code{ispell-continue}).
@item M-x ispell
Check and correct spelling of all words in the buffer. If the region
is active, do it for all words in the region instead.

To check the spelling of the word around or before point, and
optionally correct it as well, type @kbd{M-$} (@code{ispell-word}).
If a region is active, @kbd{M-$} checks the spelling of all words
within the region. @xref{Mark}. (When Transient Mark mode is off,
@kbd{M-$} always acts on the word around or before point, ignoring the

+argument, @kbd{C-u M-$}, this calls @code{ispell-continue}, which

+Interrupt the interactive spell-checking, leaving point at the word

@item x
Quit interactive spell-checking and move point back to where it was
@item q
Quit interactive spell-checking and kill the spell-checker subprocess.
+@item C-r
+Enter recursive-edit (@pxref{Recursive Editing}). When you exit
+recursive-edit with @kbd{C-M-c}, the interactive spell-checking will
+resume. This allows you to consult the buffer text without
+interrupting the spell-checking. Do @emph{not} modify the buffer in
+the recursive editing, and especially don't modify the misspelled
+word, as the edits will be undone when you exit recursive-edit. If
+you need to edit the misspelled word, use @kbd{r} or @kbd{R} instead,
+or use @kbd{X}, edit the buffer, then resume with @w{@kbd{C-u M-$}}.
