I tend to agree with Helge on this particular feature. But generally
find it great when people mention features in other word processors they
find helpful. So, thanks paolo.

Please no popup on a left click. The left click is indeed for
positioning the cursor. I have a greater vocabulary than the wordlist,
as do anybody who work in a specialist field or deal with names of
foreigners. So there are plenty of words underlined in red, and I do NOT
want a menu popping up whenever I navigate close to such words!
LyX already have too many unwanted menus accidentally popping up when
positioning the cursor into some complicated nesting of minipages &
images & hfills inside a float. Let's not have that inconvenience in
plain text too – plain text is a large part of all writing.
Also, I don't see why right-clicking is harder than left-clicking? Sure,
we use the left click more, but the right is just as easy? And with a
right click, I get a list with possible corrections, some possible
splits, and the option of adding this word to the lists.

Then
- if you click on any item of that list, word is corrected accordingly.
Left
clicking on a word not underlined does not trigger any popups, just places
the cursor.
- if you delete the list of the alternatives, that word is included in you
personal dictionary
Please can anyone check this out?
I think it would be convenient to implement that mechanism in lyx.
thank you
