Spell check on "new" outlook does not work anymore when right clicking - change it back!

I mostly use only my keyboard to type, the dropdown option on the keyboard makes it extremely convenient to access the spell check options. This is a right click function, since changing it to left click this functionality has been lost.

Having to stop typing and using the mouse to left click every time is iritating and frankly a waste of time / disruptive. It makes no sense to change a function that has been a staple since the start of spellchecking without providing an option to change it back!!

    All of the other M365 products have spell check from Right-Click, except the new Outlook. Why does this one product use a different convention?

    Given the push from Microsoft, this no longer feels like a beta product, but a refactor project that isn't listening to this base. Other features missing are right click to send to OneNote. For email, this has to be done by clicking in to additional places in the reading pane. In the calendar you must open the event, then Click send to OneNote.

    Hi,

    I'm having the same issue as previously stated. The outlook desk app will show misspelled works but there's no way to correct them. I also noticed the pop up menu isn't available so I can't copy paste items into an email. These features are available in the web version.

    So when exactly do you plan on correcting this? OBVIOUSLY we the people are not satisfied with this feature or the lack there of.
