Automatic suggestion fixes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great to have a fix command where Cspell automatically takes the first suggestion and replaces the errors with that.

Describe the solution you'd like I have written this Bash script to do that, however, I hope this is integrated into Cspell.

This requires the correct configuration of words to prevent false positive changes, which is needed anyway if a project wants to use Cspell.

#!/bin/bash

# Run cspell and capture output
pnpm i -g cspell || npm i -g cspell
output=$(cspell lint --show-suggestions --no-progress)

# Loop through each line of output
while read -r line; do
    # if line is empty, skip
    if [ -z "$line" ]; then
        continue
    fi

    # Get the file, word, and first suggestion
    file=$(echo "$line" | awk -F ':' '{print $1}')
    word=$(echo "$line" | awk -F '[(|)]' '{print $2}')
    first_suggestion=$(echo "$line" | awk -F 'Suggestions: ' '{print $2}' | awk -F '[[]|[]]' '{print $2}' | awk -F ',' '{print $1}' | sed 's/\*//g')

    # Replace the word with the suggestion (full word)
    sed -i "s/\b$word\b/$first_suggestion/g" "$file"

    echo "Replaced $word with $first_suggestion in $file"
done <<<"$output"

Additional context

I use Cspell for my project to fix spelling errors. However, it takes time for new projects that haven't used Cspell before to fix the errors manually.
