For example, while typing a section of text it should be possible to use the keyboard to correct the last misspelt word, either with the default recommendation or by opening a context menu. Currently you have to take your hand off the keyboard and on to the mouse to fix spelling mistakes using the spell checker. Shift-F10 is available but requires the cursor to be moved to the misspelt word first and then back again, and is unreliable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter "This sentense has a misspelt word" in any text box (use comments box for testing). 2. Unable to use spell checking features without using the mouse.
