Outlook PWA, how to change spellcheck back to right click

Anonymous

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?

    Within the last week I got the new Outlook, and I am so frustrated with the left mouse click now being the spell check. As others have stated, at least let it be an option to switch from left to right. Please, for the love of all that is good, listen to these frustrated customers.

    "This is a design choice made by the Outlook team to improve the user experience." - Please provide at least 1 piece of evidence that this changed improved anything.

    God what a **** move on Microsoft's part.

    I wonder how that meeting went? Probably something like this: *manager does a rail of cocaine* "Let's try to make our product EVEN WORSE SOMEHOW **** YEAH, MAKE 'EM RE-LEARN THEIR LIFELONG HABIT OF RIGHT CLICKING JUST FOR OUR **** APPS!!!".

    I can't help but echo everyone else's frustration. I highly doubt that an "Outlook team" made a choice like that after any valid research or user experience. The new Outlook and such changes are yet another example of accepting lower standards with each new version.

    I gave up, and selected "old outlook" for now, and gave this reason in the why dialogue when it requested the reason. I am old in my ways, and can not learn this new trick as they say, plus, Word is still right click! so it is not consistent even on their products.
