Editor Spelling - right click behaviour
When I right click on a misspelled word, I expect a list of suggested words to be presented - this is the behaviour in MS Word. In the browser Editor I get a menu to change spelling language in Edge and Chrome.
To get a list of spelling suggestions I have to left click - very counter intuitive.

This suggestion should be – as Carl rightfully mentioned – that the Editor should use the chrome.contextMenus API or at least give the option to do so.
I am totally fine with the way this extension works in this case but you could give us the option.
Like let us deactivate the left click function and integrate the chrome.contextMenus API.
In newer versions you could push the contextmenu-option by deactivating the left click but let it be reactivated and maybe track whether it is being used or if the other option is preferred.Lastly you then could phase the left click option out.

Completely agree with this. The general way of working with most modern apps is to right click for corrections. The system already has a spell checker before this extension was installed that corrected spellings with right click so I'm not sure what we are gaining from a spelling point of view.

It would be nice if right click on a misspelled word used the chrome.contextMenus API to add a collapsed menu option for Editor.

Thanks for the feedback. Right-click is reserved for the browser menu already, so we don't have the same options as in the desktop applications.
