Order of options in Popup do not conform to typical UI paradigm #25

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
For every program (I can think of) that has a spell check feature that has
a correction popup, the order of options is 1) the word suggestion list,
then 2) the options to add or ignore. See attached screenshot for examples
from Firefox, Word, OpenOffice, & HomeSite. The SpellChecker plug-in alters
this paradigm by listing the add & ignore option prior to the word list. 

This has repeated caused me to mistakenly add a misspelled word to the
dictionary since I am use to -- from using spell check utilities in many
other programs -- a specific key sequence for selecting the desired word
(and 10 years of muscle memory can easily override visual awareness). 

In many cases, the first word in the list of suggestions is the desired
word. In its current configuration, SpellChecker requires two (down arrow)
keystrokes to get to the target word. Even if the desired word is in the
middle of the list, one must "add" the extra keystrokes to pass over the
add & ignore options. This causes a consistent need for extra keystrokes.
If the Add & Ignore options were listed at the end of the list, users would
still have a consistent key sequence (using the up arrows) to add or ignore
the word. 

Please consider altering the order of the options in this dialog.

Thanks for a nice plug-in.
