I hate to have to ask this but... I've seemed to accidentally hit a couple hot-keys and my Notepad is now showing text from Right-to-Left. What was a that hot-key combo and what can I do to reverse it back to Left-to-Right?

Right click anywhere in notepad and uncheck right-to-left reading

Wow... I've never noticed that. Just for curiosity, do you know the hot-key equivelent? – RLH Aug 9 '11 at 19:17

@RLH It is apparently Right or Left Ctrl+Shift depending on which direction you want it, but it doesn't work for me – Greg Aug 9 '11 at 19:30

Hotkey combo:

  • to write text from Right to Left, try Ctrl + Right Shift

  • to write text from Left to Right, try Ctrl + Left Shift

Or simply open Notepad again ;)

Those do nothing for me – Oliver Salzburg♦ Oct 9 '12 at 15:13
These work in Notepad++ for changing LTR and RTL, maybe in other windows apps too? – naxa Apr 26 at 15:47
