Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Please, add an option to switch the dirction of text field in html pages. It is hard to write English in RTL layout. This option is there in firefox as context menu entry.
You can use Ctrl+RightShift to achieve the same result.
@ Mohammd It does not work to me. I tested using kde 4.3 and kde 4.5 pre
Pressing LeftCtrl+LeftShift for LTR, and RightCtrl+RightShift for RTL works on KDE 4.4.3 using Qt 4.6.2. Not sure about older versions.
Do you mean text alignment or the direction? I think the direction should work automatically, but there is also 'Insert Unicode Character' which lets you override the direction in an absurdly user-unfriendly way.
Direction is detected automatically, hence sometimes wrong, specially in mixed LTR and RTL text. So user should be able to manually change direction of a text field to LTR or RTL, maybe through a context menu entry.
Hi Ebrahim, Zayed. This feature is already available in KDE. Is this not working for you? (Qt3/Qt4/Qt5 support setting the direction of the text like in windows - by pressing control+shift). If you can make this work, I will close this bug.
Diego, thank you for you effort. The real issue is when the html element has "dir=rtl" option. For example take this simple: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body dir=rtl> <form action=""> First name: <input type="text"> </form> </body> </html> When you try to write English text, the text will start from right! I try to press control+shift , nothing changed. But if I remove the "dir=rtl" option, everything is OK (i.e. English text start from left and Arabic one from right). I think this report should be a bug reprot rather than feature request.
