However, this does not let you correct a word across the book.
Happens a lot for names. If I see a name in the spellcheck 100 times and a slightly different one 2 times, I'm pretty confident that the 2x one is wrong and will change it.
Also, often other issues come up that I notice and want to check if they are more general.
Separately:
One annoyance I have is that when I review possible errors, often an error really is an error, but the suggestions are not what I want. So I just jump to the word and edit it, continue reviewing. After doing this several times, I come to an error where I do want to accept the suggestion, it does that, refreshes the error list, but now my position is several places lower than before. Apparently, it is the same number of words into the list, but if I corrected say 10 manually, the cursor has skipped 10 words.
So can it mark its place more contextually: say remember the current word, then go to where that word would have been in the regenerated list.
