Public bug reported:
Hi,
Choices for french (and certainly other languages too) spell-checking
could be improved.
Accents are harder (and slower) to tap than usual letters. For example,
when a 'é' letter is wanted, I have to tap 'e' on the virtual keyboard,
wait for the choices of accentuated letters éèê... to appear and swift
to choose 'é'.
When I want the word "départ", I would like to type "depart", and the
spell-checker to choose "départ" as the best choice. Instead, the spell-
checker propose "repart" as first choice for "depart", which, in my
opinion, is not the best. In the algorithm for spell-checking, the
substitution of a letter without accent by the same letter with an
accent should be counted with a weight less than substitution of a
letter by a totally different letter.

know if there is a more appropriate place.
