add text direction buttons about strapi-plugin-ckeditor5

[hadifarnoud]

what you're referring to is UI direction. looks like CKeditor5 does not have directional buttons as CK4. it's either the entire text RTL or LTR. That is a significant issue as you may want to enter English or any other LTR text right in the middle of your article.

I did not find any way of doing this in current CK5
ckeditor/ckeditor5#8989

Any Update on This??
because the Text Part feature does not change the direction of the content selected.

As you can see Here in the output of CKeditor5 the first text on highlighted (selected from language dropbox) as English when editing in Ckeeditor5

<p>
<span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ENGLISH</span>
</p>

This one is highlighted in Arabic from the language dropbox.

<p>
<span lang=\"ar\" dir=\"rtl\">عربي</span>
</p>

it adds a span tag inside whatever tag you heading or tag you selected and inside that span tag, it adds dir and lang to ar also which renders it useless and the dir effect will not take place.

the dir and lang attributes should be on the outer layer which is in this example the P tag and not a span inside the main tag

PLUS,
It clearly says in the ✨ Features section of the README File in this package that it does support automatic UI and content selection based on the language defined in the strapi user profile, but it does not. it always defaults to English.

ALSO: The CKEditor does not have a text direction option in the toolbar items options and I don't know why?? since you guys have the RTL Feature developed (coded) already when I hard code the Language of content to ar (Arabic) in the config/plugins.js file in strapi?.
So why you don't just add a toolbar item button to change the direction on runtime while the end user is writing the content in CKEditor5 Editor?
because you have the scenario where The content is mixed between two languages (Arabic/English) for example.

Hi! Seems like there is no special buttons for RTL and LRT in CKEditor 5. It should work automatically.

It works automatically only when you select an RTL language (i.e Hebrew or Arabic) for the UI. so the change must come from the custom build which have to include the language feature.
