Description Mihai Sucan

Firefox has a native keyboard shortcut for switching text direction between ltr and rtl. You can press Ctrl-Shift-X in any contentEditable/designMode or textarea to switch the text direction.

Our RTL-language users would like this shortcut to work in the developer tools source editor as well:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669011

The expected behavior is that the whole document being edited switches text direction. If we enable this shortcut, currently Orion breaks and the whole UI changes its direction. Most likely Orion needs to prevent the default action and implement the direction change only inside the editable code area.

Thank you!
