When a word is highlighted as being spelled incorrectly I control click on it to get a list of corrections and then select one. Is there any way to improve on this such as not using the mouse or tracker pad?
The sort of short cut I an thinking of is as soon as I have typed a word and it is shown as an error to be able to press some key combination to show the correction list and then use the number keys to select the correct word.
Dave.

Yes, press ⌥F2 with caret on the word (no need to select it first).
This key also works in the file browser (to open the context menu).
Thanks. Is it possible to record this action somehow in a macro? You only find a word has been misspelt after you have moved away from it so you need to do move back by one character first before you can use ⌥F2.

Showing context menu is not a recordable action, but you can use it in a key bindings dictionary, e.g.:
// ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/KeyBindings.dict { "@d" = ("moveLeft:", "showContextMenu:"); }
That will make ⌘D move left and then show the context menu (with the spelling suggestions).
