To correct a misspelled word is done by pointing to the word and right-click (this is very similar to other editors); the context menu shown has the list of proposed corrections but it is hidden towards the end and hard to reach. I suggest to move the list of corrections to the top.
Motivation
Spelling correction is an activity writers use often. The current support is hard (i.e. cognitively demanding) and could easily be improved. The proposed corrections are hard to find towards the end of a long list and require much mouse travel - which reduces usability in an operation very often done.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I am new to atom (and therefore notice the difference to other approaches) and have seen that it had been discussed before and improved to a degree. I assume that go to make right click when pointing to a misspelled word show only the correction is more difficult - this is a common behavior in other editors.
Solutions which require additional key-presses are worse than the current state.
