clever support for direction in CodeEditor
Open, LowestPublicFeature
Actions

Description

Most programming languages are left-to-right, so dir="ltr" should be the default for CodeEditor. However, some programming languages are right-to-left, for example qlb and others (see [[Non-English-based programming languages]] and search the page for Arabic), and they should be supported, too. The direction should probably be a parameter when initializing the editing control.

We don't support anything but JS/CSS and Lua right now right ? So this is highly theoretical for now ?

Use of explicitly RTL programming languages would be highly theoretical, I would think. :) But neat, if anybody wants to run a wiki using them we'd love the patch I imagine.

Full bidi is however useful for "regular" programming languages that include comments or strings in RTL languages, however.
