Text inputs on Mac apps have this ability in the context menu:
But seems like N1 overrides this menu
It would be great just to bring it back until a more permanent solution is introduced.

Hi @elado. N1 isn't a normal Mac App -- under the hood it's running Chromium and JavaScript. This means we don't use the Cocoa text boxes which come with regular contextual menus, so the fix isn't so simple.

Is it a limitation of Electron?
The screenshot was taken from Safari, and Chrome has it on all inputs too.

As far as I know, yes. Electron is pretty minimal. It uses the Chromium Embedded Framework which is essentially just the view rendering code underneath Chrome and not the native OS integration.

It's a good idea to do what Gmail does for text direction. they switch the direction based on characters typed.
you can find an example here: http://codepen.io/siamak/pen/rAmBb
UPDATE: this one is actually supports all RTL languages https://github.com/hasenj/bidiweb

can we get an ETA on this? This is the only blocking issue for me to fully switch to N1

Writing a mail which involves both English and Hebrew is just a nightmare.

Until a good working solution is available, I would like to suggest the following workaround:
Enable the "Quick Replies" plug-in. The templates are saved in ~/.nylas/templates
Create a file: RTL.html and paste into it:
<div style="direction:rtl;text-align:right;"><div>RTL</div></div>
Now, the first thing you do when creating a new email, select the RTL quick reply and wallah.

To add this feature just you need to detect Mideast ASCII, after that if it was Mideast, ok, add dir="rtl" to div.
like this => http://codepen.io/siamak/pen/rAmBb

Using dir=auto may helps. You can check out its documentation:

@nournia dir=auto works wonderfully. Added it to the Standard Notes web client https://github.com/standardnotes/web
