Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 15.6.1 (24G90)

### Expected behaviour

One major drawback using Q Chat on the CLI vs a web browser chat bot, is we lose spell check, potentially confusing the underlying ML Model. Two features would be great to have. The first is to underline misspelt words, the second would be to bind a hotkey to suggest replacements

### Actual behaviour

There is no spell check

### Steps to reproduce

n/a
