Select element/word or whatever. Then press the following keys. Windows: CTRL+SHIFT+L MAC: CMD+SHIFT+L Tested on MAC, Works like charm. I tested in the text-editor, text input field and it does exactly what sublime text and VS code does. Developer needs to add these instructions in the pop-up. people are confused. Thank you.
