Shortcuts can be difficult, since the screen is not forced to keep focus. I will see what I can do about that. The same goes for the menu key. I never use it, so I need to see if that can be done. I guess it is possible.

It can be slow, but usually it is rather fast. It depends on the source of course. Getting the words is fast, checking if they are correctly spelled not so much. The Hunspell is much faster than the Word engine. The message about the clipboard is correct. The fastest way to retrieve all words is to actually copy all text to the clipboard and then split it into words. I can use a loop that asks Word for each word one by one, but then it will take about half an hour to get all words. This is the fastest way. I can clear the clipboard of course.

See above for the reason. As soon as you click on a word in the list, the selection should become the first occurence in the selected word. I will make sure the text is unselected first.

Wise or not, it is the responsibility of the user I guess.
