Feature Request: RTL (Right-to-Left) support for chat interface
Feature Request: RTL Support
Problem:
Users who write in RTL languages (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.) experience the chat interface aligned left-to-right, which makes reading and writing in their native language uncomfortable.
Expected behavior:
The chat panel should support RTL text direction, either:
- Automatically detected based on the language typed
- As a configurable setting in Claude Code settings
Use case:
When communicating with Claude in Hebrew or Arabic, the text should be right-aligned and flow right-to-left, matching the natural reading direction of the language.
Suggested implementation:
Add a setting such as "claudeCode.textDirection": "rtl" or auto-detect RTL languages and apply direction: rtl; text-align: right; to the chat webview.
