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?

    It is incredible how many horrible things were added/change in "NEW" Outlook and not to mention removed.

    Just roll back outlook to 2016 and force update everyone, no one wants this garbage that keeps getting added/changed, the fact that we cant even insert HTML either anymore is laughable with an app that is essentially a web application.

    Whoever took over the Outlook team should get reassigned and bring back the old team who can actually understand what users want and not nonsensical changes that they think are cool.

    I never comment on any of these things, but this is so painful and such a bad design decision, you can't even "left-click" into a word that you misspelled to correct, for instance if the correct word is not in the list and you know how to fix it you can't click where the issue is and type, it keeps popping up with the wrong words. You have to delete the word and re-type, very poor slow experience.

    Please give an option to choose so I can put spell-check back on the right click.

    I completely agree with this.

    I agree Left click is really frustrating. Especially if I don't want any or their suggestions. You now have to click to place your cursor, then press Escape to clear the suggestion box then type.

    Left click is 100% terrible. I know MS likes to force these UI things on people and ask them to just get used to it, but this is just bad design for anyone with mouse. You are forcing a touch use model on people with mouse, and it is a bad idea.

    Using the pop out feature will also bring back the right click option. This is a very frustrating update.
