Vscode: [rtl] Add Right-to-Left editing

Created on 6 Apr 2016 · 3Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode

Please add a feature to change writing direction.
For example, I want to edit markdown documents, and my language is Persian/Farsi, a Right-to-Left language. Now, when I edit documents, always it is left aligned and direction is left-to-right, and it is not comfortable to edit documents that have both Persian text and English text.

Thanks.

It would be nice to have it for Monaco as well.

Something like Notepad++ would be extremely sufficient because almost everyone needs to enter both of the languages at the same time. Web developers felt it so much.
In Notepad++ the combination of ALT+CTRL+R flips text to the right and ALT+CTRL+L reverse it. I find it extremely sufficient instead of wise text orientating like Emacs or TeXstudio. As much as great those apps are but bidirectional writing is a pain in the neck in those.
