Hmm ... I can't see how using a mouse and scrolling clicking or unclicking a checkbox, would be any faster than using an arrow key or pagedown and delete key.

It is often more useful to modify the find and replace query itself to be more selective. Splitting them into multiple more refined queries and adding them to a Saved Search group. You can save and load Saved Search Groups to files to be loaded dynamically when you want them.

Also, to check for missing, you can rerun the exact same search and walk through the omitted replacements that will now be caught again. Or alternatively, create a CheckPoint beforehand and use Compare to examine changes.

Everyone does it differently.

That said there are already a number of plugins to help find and fix OCR errors, smarten punctuation, spellcheck etc. Have you tried those before spending time to develop your own?
