Support right to left direction in adding text to screen shoots #139

Hi dears. I'm Arabic & write from right to left. Hebrew also a right to left language like Arabic.

I tested your application to add Arabic text to screen shoots. It is excellent ! The only one negative point is that the statement move (while user continue to type) toward right (I mean the beginning of text move toward right progressively as user adding more right to left text). This should corrected: the beginning of statement should remain at the point where text started to added, & growing direction of statement should be toward left not toward right.

To be more clear, if I type an English sentence composed from 5 English words & I started to enter English text at middle of screen, then every new character I entering the sentence GROWING toward left while 1st character (the beginning of sentence) remain at it's middle of screen point of start. But in entering a right to left text, this should be reversed: sentence growing toward right with each Arabic/Hebrew character entered by user & 1st right to left character (beginning of sentence) remain at it's original location

This is something that we don't support yet but a valid feature request.
