Thanks. It definitely helps, but it's still quite slow. What's made the biggest difference is is advising the relevant functions to turn flyspell off beforehand and then turn it back on. ``` (defun azr/org-footnote-disable-flyspell (orig-fun &rest args) (flyspell-mode -1) (apply orig-fun args) (flyspell-mode)) (advice-add 'org-footnote-new :around #'azr/org-footnote-disable-flyspell) (advice-add 'org-footnote-delete :around #'azr/org-footnote-disable-flyspell) ``` Best, Alan On Sat, Dec 10, 2022 at 4:24 AM Ihor Radchenko wrote: > arozbiz@gmail.com writes: > > > Thanks Ihor for the response.
