Say I'm typing into a document and I make a typo. I've got to the end of the misspelled word and it has a red line of dots under it. I right click and choose the top suggestion (which is nearly always right) and continue writing my document.
It there a way to do this without using the mouse to choose the suggestion?
EDIT:
I don't have auto correct spelling on as it's a massive pain. There are a lot of words that I don't want to have corrected. So I have it turned off. However there are regularly ones that I do want to correct and I want to be able to take a chance at correcting that last misspelled word.
I know that this cannot be done with the default OSX settings.

Edit:
If you want it to be automatically corrected, go to System preferences > Keyboard > Text and turn on "Correct spelling automatically".
