So far I have not radically changed the Spelling procedure from the first time I introduced it.
This is the interface:


What I already have changed (but not released yet) is the option to choose between the Hunspell and the Word spellings engine. For the Word spelling function, the Word spellings engine will always be used. The choice is only for my spelling function.
Another change, made in the latest (1.17.0) release, is the option to have the misspelled words in a monospaced font and set the fontsize. Often this makes it easier to spot OCR errors.

Now, based on your suggestions:
- I suppose I can add the checkbox to do a case-insensitive sort, although this is the default anyway.
- Show all words can be done, but I fail to see the relevance to be honest. Also, counting the occurrences of all words can take quite some time. So, this one will probably not happen as of yet.
- The filterbox looks interesting, I will take a look at it.
- Context menu looks interesting, I will take a look at it. No guarantees of course.
- I am not sure an Undo is possible, depends on Word functionality. I will take a look at it.
- I could make it possible to save the list with misspelled words. I fail to see the relevance, but it is not that complex to do. However, there will not be a button for that. I am thinking of making it part of the context menu.
- Resetting the ignored Words list is not that hard actually. However, to have those words reinstalled to the misspelled words list will be harder. If I can make it work, I will again probably make it part of the context menu. I do not want to clutter the interface.
- The last of your suggestions is a no-can-do. The suggestions come from the Hunspell engine directly.

You do of course understand that this will cause a delay in the release of the new version?
