Feature request: Go to next/previous error #171

Thanks for promptly fixing the issues I recently reported. I have a suggestion for a minor improvement.

Can you add options to the Tools -> Spell Checker menu to go to the next and previous errors from the current cursor position in the file.

By assigning keyboard shortcuts to these along with the existing Ctrl-. shortcut, it would create a very efficient keyboard navigation for spell checking an entire file without popping up the spell checker dialog window.

Implemented in commit 04cd0724c1d37084c2675a2208326de1aa0cb16e. It will be in the next release which I'll probably publish in a week or two.

Note that keyboard shortcuts are left to the user so you can assign them as you see fit (Ctrl+. is the built in shortcut for showing the Quick Action context menu). I would suggest limiting them to the Text Editor selection of the "Use new shortcut in" combo box. I've assigned them to Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow (Tools.MovetoNextSpellingIssue) and Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow (Tools.MovetoPriorSpellingIssue). It does make it very easy to navigate between the spelling issues so thanks for the suggestion.
