Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Currently, users writing in Right-to-Left (RTL) languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, etc.) face formatting and readability issues in ZenNotes. Without native RTL text direction support, text alignment, punctuation placement, and cursor movement can behave unexpectedly or become difficult to read.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add RTL text direction support to ZenNotes. Ideally, this would include:
- Auto-detection or manual toggle for text direction (per note, per line/paragraph, or globally).
- Proper RTL alignment (
text-align: right and direction: rtl) for both editing and preview modes.
- Proper handling of bidirectional (BiDi) text (e.g., mixing English words or code snippets inside RTL notes).
Suggested Reference / Resource
For implementation ideas and reference logic on handling RTL in Markdown-based note-taking tools, check out:
👉 [obsidian-rtl](https://github.com/esm7/obsidian-rtl)
This plugin demonstrates effective strategies for:
- Detecting RTL text dynamically.
- Applying proper CSS/DOM attributes (
dir="rtl") to editor and preview elements.
- Managing mixed-language/bidirectional text seamlessly.
Additional context
Adding RTL support will make ZenNotes much more accessible to native speakers of RTL languages worldwide!
