Claude Code does not render right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Arabic) in RTL layout. Hebrew text is shown left-aligned, which makes reading and editing awkward compared to dedicated Markdown editors like Obsidian, which have a built-in RTL toggle.
What I'd like:
- An option (setting or auto-detection) to display RTL text right-aligned, like Obsidian's RTL mode.
- Proper bidirectional (bidi) handling so mixed Hebrew + English lines display correctly.
Wrapping bug (both areas): With mixed Hebrew/English text, lines wrap mid-word instead of at word boundaries. This happens in two places:
- Claude's response area (rendered output).
- The message input / prompt line where I type.
Word-boundary wrapping in both directions would fix this.
Environment: Claude Code desktop app, macOS.
