This #TuesdayToolsday (it's still Tuesday somewhere, let's pretend I'm not late) is sponsored by Microsoft (not really, but, well) and the Tool Box newsletter I received last week: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

Personally, I use Always on Top and Paste As Plain Text, but others may be useful depending on the situation.

Some of us are forced to play some kind of keyboard piano to put correct special symbols in the text. Like em-dashes, ellipses, and quotations. So here: https://ilyabirman.net/typography-layout/ for EN and https://ilyabirman.ru/typography-layout/ for RU (there are versions for Mac too)

It saves me lots of precious muscle and mental memory space used to remember different ALT+0171 or ALT+0151. Although, I can't un-remember them too.

About spellchecking and typos: almost everyone knows it's not recommended to use any online tools (because of NDA, because they use these texts to train their tools, etc.) But built-in work resources can miss something (or aren't able to work with some languages), and a human being definitely can make mistakes.

So what my team uses: https://languagetool.org/download/ - it works offline, and it's open-sourced, so everyone can check the code if wishes so. And with lots of settings!
