I agree that it's important to be able to quickly toggle continuous spellcheck. If I want to have some misspellings or "misspellings" temporarily or permanently for whatever reason and the continuous spellchecker's visual cues annoy me, then I'll want to turn it off [possibly only for *that* document!]. This also gets to the issue of needing multiple local and/or document-local dictionaries of additional words, for context-specific reasons. E.g., some org wants American spelling, but an author might normally prefer British spelling, and so needs to switch spellchecker dictionaries depending on which documents they edit. Nico --
