Apologies if I have misunderstood.

My keyboards have a key immediately left of the right Ctrl key labelled Menu with a graphic that (imagination permitting) looks like context menu - I call it the menu key. I find using it faster and much more accurate than using a mouse. To make it even easier I reconfigured F8 in calibre editor and F4 in Sigil to Ctrl/Shift/Down arrow

See attachments for difference between pressing the menu key in calibre & sigil after pressing F8/F4 to go to next misspelt word

Observe that sigil treats the word 'bank-ruptcies' as one word whereas calibre treats it as two. This presents a problem with valid hyphenated compound words such as helter-skelter, helter is not a 'valid' word by itself, but when hyphenated with skelter it is.

Also note that had that been 'bank-ruptures', then neither calibre or sigil would have picked up the error. But I would have found it via Sigils ability to list hyphenated words.
