Keyboard shortcuts for spell checker?

Are there any keyboard shortcuts for the spelling checker?

The help file says you can edit shortcuts with View|Edit Shortcuts, but it does not appear on any of the menus.

In particular, a keyboard shortcut to choose the default correction for the last mis-spelt word would be really handy. That way 90% of mistakes could be corrected without having to take my hands off the keyboard.

There are shortcuts for the spell checker and you can edit them.
Open the message editor
View -> Toolbars -> Customise... -> Shortcuts
Look for the menu option that you want to assign a shortcut to.
I don't think it's possible to assign shortcuts to individual words, but I think it should be possible to assign shortcuts to actions like 'ignore' and 'add to dictionary'.

Thanks for the hint. I experimented a bit and found that it is not possible to add a shortcut to choose the first suggestion.

You can add one to open the "Suggest more..." window, but there is a bug. If you use the shortcut it replaces the last typed word, not the misspelt word. For example, if I type:

milenium bug []

[] is where the cursor is. I then press the shortcut, it opens the window, I press enter to accept the first suggestion and it replaces "bug" with millennium:

milenium millennium []
