Since the rewrite, text is only left-to-right. #124

I'm on Android. I write various non-technical things in the app in both English and Hebrew, which is written right-to-left. Before the rewrite, every new line would be assigned a text direction based on the first character (I think), so when I started writing in Hebrew it would stay right-to-left until I pressed Enter. Now it is locked to left-to-right and there's no way to change that, not even manually. The way it was before sounds the best and most convenient to me. I would love to see this reverted or at least a reply saying it won't ever be.

I went ahead and implemented proper RTL support as a setting, so that the entire app layout will switch to RTL when enabled. Unfortunately, it doesn't replicate the behavior of English text lines being LTR and Hebrew text lines being RTL, but it should hopefully be an improvement over what the behavior is right now.
