Extension summary
This extension allows you to change the web page text direction. This is useful when you are viewing right to left text such as Hebrew or Arabic in an application that displays from left to right.
Shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+J -- switch to RTL Ctrl+Shift+E -- switch to LTR
Note 1: If one or both of the shortcuts don't work, it means that something else is mapped to them. Chrome allows you to remap extension shortcuts, and you can remap the shortcuts to something that isn't in use. Alternatively, the extension adds an item to the Chrome right click menu, which you can use to switch text direction instead of the shortcuts.
Note 2: The language direction will only change for HTML elements that don't have a specified language direction.
