Is there any way for me to get all of the words detected by the standard OS X spelling checker as mistakes, to be corrected to the first available choice using a keyboard shortcut?
E.g. I type aqcuired
and several words/sentences later I look up from the keyboard and see the typo. Instead of reaching for the mouse or tediously navigating there with the keyboard for a manual correction, I'd like to just hit some key combination and get it to be fixed to the obvious correction acquired
…
Any solution which is applescript based will also do, since I can easily trigger any applescript from the keyboard (using iKey).

I couldn't come up with anything better than this:
For the keystroke command to work, create
~/Library/Keybindings/
and save this asDefaultKeyBinding.dict
:Other methods weren't really usable when for example the word under the caret was not underlined.
Many words don't have any suggestions. I think it's easier to just press ⌘: and retype words manually, or to press ⌘; and double-click the suggested words.

to DefaultKeyBinding.dict didn't seem to work.
