Wanted: A shortcut key to zip backwards to the last mispelleded word in a text document. (And, forward too would be nice, but backwards is most important.) Next time you are writing stuff, think about how cool this would be.

Wanted: A bash utility that sends the contents of a file to standard output. It would be named spew. It would be like cat but with the problems oft' complained about in cat fixed. There would be a few options. One option would be to chomp the final newline if there is one. Other options would…
I don't mean blog posts or emails. For blog posts I use souped up gedit, and for emails I use pico. (There was a time when I thought I'd be using emacs for both of those, but emacs suffers from a deep philosophical dysfunction.) I'm talking about longer documents that have sections with headings…

Did you put in an OpenOffice.org enhancement request? I didn't see an issue link that would allow me to vote for it.
Those requests do work. I was the requestor for the the "overbar" markup request [1]. The team had to get a revision to the ODF file format to make it happen, but you'll notice that OO.o now has overbar.
[1] We need it for electronic standards documents.
I find it amusing that 'misspelled' is misspelled. :P
DC: I want in emacs!!!
A.S: Very misspelled! Just so there would be no mistaking the attempt a humor.
I'm not an emacs guy, but I think that would be pretty easy to do in a script, using aspell or something similar. I wrote a script in Nedit to jump to next/previous C function definition, it was pretty short and straightforward...
I find that ctrl+left works for me.
Alex: Does this mean that you spell EVERY word wrong? Because Ctl+left goes back one word at a time.
Alan, yeah, it should be. I would even stipulate this: Assume flyspell-mode is on. That means that a word is already marked somehow. This should be EASY in emacs.
"Alex: Does this mean that you spell EVERY word wrong? Because Ctl+left goes back one word at a time."
Not every word, but near enough for a bit of hyperbole.
It should be pretty easy to implement, especially with automatic spell checkers. Surely you can write an emacs script for it?
Alex, I'm sure you would be much better at this than I would!
