Description sforbes 2002-12-29 16:27:24 UTC 
In windows system CTRL+right shift sets the direction as RTL, and CTRL+left
shift sets the direction as LTR.

Those keyboard shortcuts fail in OO

Hi Frank, does this keyboard shortcut interfere with any of your
accessiblity issues? If not please have this implemented. Thx a lot.
Comment 3 frank.loehmann 2003-02-13 08:31:43 UTC 
Currently SFX does not support this feature (according to CD). Today 
we have have configured the following shortcuts: CTRL+Shift+A und 
CTRL+Shift+D, but we need to support the following ones, too:

leftShift + leftCtrl activates left to right writing mode
rightShift + rightCtrl activates right to left writing mode

If another key was already pressed and was released until shift and 
ctrl key was pressed, nothing will happen if shift + ctrl .

The functionality is alreay available for a while. However, you have
to activate it by opening Tools->Options->LanguageSettings->Languages.
On this tab page you must check 'Complex Text Layout (CTL) support'.
Now you get additional buttons in the toolbar and Left-Ctrl-Shift and
Right-Ctrl-Shift will be activated.

FL->SBA: Please try to reproduce the behavior as deescribed by 
Shoshannah Forbes. Feature works on my system (s2 SO build) as 
expected.
