To enable shortcat to work within pages in Chrome, go to chrome://accessibility and turn on Global accessibility mode at the top of the page (as of Chrome 33). It sounds complex, but it all takes a fraction of a second with a little practice. Type spell to select Spelling and Grammar from the context menu, then Space to drill in, and finally Space again to select.Now we're done with shortcat, but to finish it off: highlights everything - my text area of interest happens to be labeled 'AP'. So to right click a text area in a browser (okay, in Chrome) and run spell check might look like this: By default, you activate shortcat by using cmd+shift+space. The same keyboard shortcuts that work when clicking work with enter, so to right click, just hit Ctrl+enter. You type the clickable text of what you want to select, tab if necessary to the correct element, then hit enter to click. It allows you to use the keyboard to move the mouse cursor to clickable parts of the screen. I have solved this problem using the free app (edit: it's free now, but looks like it will have to be purchased after the beta) Shortcat. use Return to activate the default button: Correct.use Up and Down to select replacements, and.with the replacement textbox focused, you can.use Tab to move to the various controls, and.Once focus is on the Spelling floating window, you can.The default for “move focus to the floating window” is ⌃F6, but that seems to be used by the editor here on SO, so I needed to change it to test it while composing this answer (I used ⌥F6).You may need to reassign the shortcuts.To focus the floating window without using the mouse, you can use the “full keyboard access” shortcuts (enable them in System Preferences, search for “full keyboard access”, it (and the extra shortcuts it enables) are under the “Keyboard Navigation” subtree.This selects the next ‘misspelled’ word and opens the Spelling floating window.This selects the next ‘misspelled’ word.Not all applications may have these menu items.
There are standard shortcuts for the built-in spell checking. Activate “Mouse Keys” (in System Preferences, search for “mouse keys”, turn it on).
