I recently started using Outlook PWA with Chrome and the right click spellcheck is disabled, forcing me to use left click to access spellcheck. This is very unintuitive, all applications use right click for spellcheck. I am deeply confused by this interface choice, the right click menu in Outlook is useless now, the only options being copy & paste and emojis for some reason?
Is there a setting in Outlook OR an chrome extension OR an Outlook Add-in that will put my spell check back on the right click where it is expected?

I agree with the others, I've been trying to use the New outlook to assist in its development and get ahead of it. This feature alone makes me want to revert back. at the very least this should me a setting in Office to make all applications match.
Bad design move.
Why change something everyone knows how to use? You're just frustrating your customers and believe me there are plenty of us frustrated by these changes.... Just look at all the comments!
They did it so there's better support for touch screens. Right click on a surface or other touchscreen capable computer is a long press and takes extra time, where a left click is instant.
Nothing to back this up other than my thoughts on the matter.
That said, I hate it with a passion. So much so I was writing emails and came in search of a solution to this "feature". Input device detection would be super useful for both the developers and us, because then people using a touch screen could have left click and everyone else could have right click like our muscle memory over the last 20+ years of computing has been developed to expect.
Or even a check box in the damn settings
I've just started using the new Outlook and am similarly frustrated and confused by the change of right click not having the spell check. Completely at odds with the rest of office. Please change it back or give us the option to use the right click... As another user has mentioned, right click is now completely redundant.
The design choice made by the outlook team to improve productivity has actually backfired. I do not use a mouse and use the keyboard drop down menu to cross check my spelling. replacing this with an Emoji option does not make sense in a business environment which is what outlook is about. At least give the option to have it both ways and let the user decide on the experience they want to go through. This might force me to go back to the old outlook.
