This feature (toggling RTL, LTR directions) is essential for Bidi support, and it's helpful when dealing with console output of RTL language. Currently Krita and Kwrite switch text direction depending on the language of the starting text. If it is e.g Arabic, the whole line would be RTL. Which becomes annoying in case of a mixed text where the desired layout is to force alignment to be all to the right or all to the left. 2220300 1 avidseeker7 2023-04-04 18:52:07 +0000 More background on this issue in gedit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/-/issues/468 2220358 2 bug-janitor 2023-04-04 20:31:02 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/ktexteditor/-/merge_requests/537 2220772 3 christoph 2023-04-06 12:20:37 +0000 Git commit 8c814351a7a6685790d3488b7e8f3a3c776af937 by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Waqar Ahmed. Committed on 06/04/2023 at 12:20. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Allow forcing RTL direction The option is available under the "View" menu. Once the option is checked, all the text is forced to the right. Having "Dynamic Word Enabled" is necessary for this to work correctly. Reason being that with static wrapping there is no "right" to which we can force the lines to, "right" is infinity/INT_MAX.
