Description

Describe your feature request

I love MarkText. It's such a useful idea played out in the simplest elegance. I'd like to help any way I can to further the goal of MarkText. I have a spell check right click menu context suggestion to make:

When doing spell check right click context menu over a misspelled word it would be nice to have the spelling suggestions in the first menu rather than buried in a sub-menu so that it's quicker to edit misspelled words.

What problem does this feature solve? [optional]

This would decrease editing time as spelling fixes would be quicker for the user as well as not being a distraction away from the writer's thoughts. I think this would go beautifully with MarkText's aim at simplicity.

Additional context [optional]
