While consolidating my spell/syntax checking setup, I noticed that
flyspell lacks a command to jump to the nearest error that is before the
point in a buffer. There exists `flyspell-goto-next-error', which of
course loops back to beginning when the end of the buffer is reached,
but no equivalent command for going backwards.
I have attached a patch that implements backwards traversal, making sure
it acts analogous to `flyspell-goto-next-error'. I'd like to open a
discussion on whether it would be feasible to have a key binding in
`flyspell-mode-map' for this command. For reference, the bindings
currently are:
C-; -- flyspell-auto-correct-previous-word
C-, -- flyspell-goto-next-error
C-. -- flyspell-auto-correct-word
C-c $ -- flyspell-correct-word-before-point
IMO the best course of action would be to modify
`flyspell-goto-next-error' to accept a prefix argument. The prefix
would control the direction and number of jumps performed; negative
arguments would jump backwards -ARG errors (by calling
flyspell-goto-previous-error), while positive arguments would jump
forwards ARG errors. This would be similar to how commands like
`forward-word' handle prefix arguments. This would allow us to leave
the mode-map unchanged, but still distribute the improvement to all
users.
