Feature request: Add Arabic support to the RTL Plugin

Hello,

I would like to suggest improving the RTL Plugin to support Arabic.

It would be helpful if the plugin could:

  • Automatically apply RTL text direction when writing in Arabic
  • Support mixed Arabic and LTR text in the same note
  • Correctly handle punctuation, numbers, links, and code within Arabic text
  • Provide an easy way to switch between RTL and LTR direction when needed
  • Support Arabic text in both the editor and preview/reading mode

This would make Inkdrop much more comfortable and accessible for users who write in Arabic.

Thank you!

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for the suggestion.
As a solo developer from Japan, supporting RTL is super hard. I’m afraid that I’m not planning to improve RTL.
You can create a plugin if you are interested. I can answer specific questions for it here.
You can start from adding direction: rtl; to the html element to your styles.css.

Hope you understand it.
