Description Ali Tajelsir 2020-07-11 15:23:52 UTC 
SUMMARY
Provision of (menu, toolbar and keyboard) shortcuts to switch between right and left reading direction in okular will be convenient.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
With the current implementation to change the reading direction, a user needs to:
1. Go to settings
2. General Section
3. Change reading direction in program features

OBSERVED RESULT
The reading direction is changed successfully but in a many steps which is inconvenient especially for users who use the option frequently

EXPECTED RESULT 
The presence of shortcuts will greatly improve the user experience

Add RTL layout KToggleAction

This adds a KToggleAction to PageView, which toggles RTL layout, which was previously only accessible from Configure Okular -> General.

The action is not in any toolbar, just in the action collection. Called "rtl_page_layout" and reads "Use Right to Left Reading Direction".
