I have looked at previous topics and the manual but either missed it or it's not there. When the interactive popup box comes up for a misspelled word to give options, how do I get it to IGNORE or even LEARN via the keyboard? I can correct the spelling with Command-1 to -0 but I see no way to get to the IGNORE or LEARN via keyboard. I have to stop typing and use the mouse to get it to disappear.

Your help is appreciated.

Use the keyboard shortcut for the Ignore and/or Learn commands in the Input menu. Customize them via Spell Catcher’s Shortcuts preferences.

Just to make things a bit more clear: These functions are only offered when you have finished the word unknown by SC. That means, as long as you type SC's interactive popup box only shows you predictions of words you might want to type but as soon as you enter the space character/blank it will show possible corrections *and* the function to ignore or learn the word, which are accessible via the keyboard.

Just to make things even clearer- when Thomas says "predictions", he refers to Spell Catcher’s Completion feature, when you have "Auto-Show Completions" selected in the Input menu. These are shown while you are typing a word. There are no commands in the completions list. By default, this feature is turned off.

When you type the word separator (space, tab, return) after an error, if "Auto-Show Suggestions" is selected in the Input menu, you'll get either a window (Suggest Spelling Window) or list (Pop-Up Suggestions List) with suggested corrections. Both have commands to Learn, Ignore, Find, Look Up and the like - and these commands have keyboard shortcuts.
