In windows system CTRL+right shift sets the direction as RTL, and CTRL+left
shift sets the direction as LTR.

Those keyboard shortcuts fail in OO

DL->FT: Would you please takeover?

Hi Frank, does this keyboard shortcut interfere with any of your
accessiblity issues? If not please have this implemented. Thx a lot.

Currently SFX does not support this feature (according to CD). Today 
we have have configured the following shortcuts: CTRL+Shift+A und 
CTRL+Shift+D, but we need to support the following ones, too:

leftShift + leftCtrl activates left to right writing mode
rightShift + rightCtrl activates right to left writing mode

If another key was already pressed and was released until shift and 
ctrl key was pressed, nothing will happen if shift + ctrl .

The functionality is alreay available for a while. However, you have
to activate it by opening Tools->Options->LanguageSettings->Languages.
On this tab page you must check 'Complex Text Layout (CTL) support'.
Now you get additional buttons in the toolbar and Left-Ctrl-Shift and
Right-Ctrl-Shift will be activated.

still fail- only the menu works

FL->SBA: Please try to reproduce the behavior as deescribed by 
Shoshannah Forbes. Feature works on my system (s2 SO build) as 
expected.
