Heart!
A typing error caused me to realized Lagrange has Vimium-like capabilities! YAY!!!

A spell check? I have been searching for how to impliment one in here?

The desktop versions of Lagrange use a custom text input widget that doesn't integrate with any spell checker, unfortunately. The mobile versions do use native text fields so they can take advantage of the native spell checking.
I haven't evaluated whether it would be feasible to integrate some external spell checker into the app. (I tend not to use one myself.) Could be worthwhile to look into this in the future, although it might make more sense to integrate native text field controls on desktop as well, at least on some operating systems.
FWIW, my "typing error" wasn't related to spelling. Rather, I hit the 'f' key while staring at a page, and suddenly noticed letters/numbers next to links, from which I ascertained that pressing one of those letters/numbers would cause Lagrange to follow the respective link. I vastly prefer such keyboard shortcuts to scrolling/clicking the touchpad.
Thank you Jake. I was curious if that was the situation. And it is probably best to be cautious when impementing external 3rd party tools and APIs anyhow. It kind of defeats some of the reasoning built into Genini. I wonder if a local module could be added on for it to refer to locally rather than using browser tools?
Thank you for clarifying that! :)
