This may or may not be too late to contemplate for 10.1, but I think it might be good to at least be on a list of "new features." I understand that under some circumstances, a check selection is re-done after it has gone through the list of suspects. But it only happens when certain conditions are met (I think adding a word to learned words will "force" a re-check of the whole selection).

How about a perf item that essentially says "always recheck selection?" I find that I frequently manually recheck selections; I'd rather that I can set the software to do it automatically.

What actually happens (and often appears to be a re-check of the entire selection but often isn't) is that when you Learn a word (or Ignore All or add a new shorthand) is that Check Selection searches the entire for selection for those paragraphs that might contain a word that would "match" the one you just Learned/Ignore All'ed/whatever and marks only those paragraphs as requiring a re-check. This is usually a LOT faster than re-checking everything.

If there was such an option to "always recheck", when and how would it know when to "kick in"?

After the last "flagged" word is dealt with.

Part of the point is that my brain is way too fast for my fingers; I get sloppy typing, so it may be that a word gets correctly flagged, it may not be on the list of suggestions, so I manually type it to replace. What happens if I mistype something there?

I was just looking to short cut having to hit command-a, cntrl-command-c after hitting the "Finished" button.
