I was typing into Google Chrome's address bar and I think I hit some keys by accident that right aligned the text in the bar. This is very annoying! What might I have pressed? How can I change this back?

More like, how do you align text to the right?! :p – danixd Sep 8 '10 at 15:15

Looks like it relates to Right To Left language support. Try hitting:

LeftShift+LeftControl

at the same time to see if it resolves.

I've done this so many times to myself you'd think I'd know it by heart... but I don't. I don't even have access to a Windows machine right now to give more exact details. But essentially, you should be able to right-click the address box and somewhere in the context menu there should be right-to-left and left-to-right alignment options...

As for what keys were pressed to do that? I don't know. I've yet to figure that one out myself.

...There's no context options for this in Chrome. – JNK Sep 8 '10 at 15:30

For some reason the context menu no longer provides an ability to switch the text direction in the address bar. One day you just hit something by accident and there is no way back.
