Make Spelling Suggestions Bold in Right‑Click Menus

Features

Context

When a word is misspelled, the correction suggestions appear inside a long context menu that also contains many unrelated actions. Because everything is styled the same way, the actual spelling suggestions don’t stand out, making them harder to spot at a glance.

Other applications have already improved this experience by visually emphasizing suggested corrections in bold, helping users quickly identify the right option.

Proposal

Highlight the spelling suggestions by rendering them in bold within the right‑click menu.

I like this. It clearly separates the spelling corrections from the other options. Makes the ui look a bit more uncluttered.

I like this idea too, so I went digging around to see if it could be done with CSS. And after much frustration trying to keep the menu to stay open as I poked around in the dev tools, I found that Electron uses/triggers native OS-level menus. As such, it seems they exist outside the app and can't be modified through any simple means. :woman_shrugging:
