<pre>FWIW, some notes on trying to understand what's happening (without saying
whether or not it should stay that way...):
The relevant code in SwEditWin::Command responsible for changing writing
direction was added in commit
commit cf308f6beb1ca7d7d5e209bfc25d3094a7acd836

#105224# support COMMAND_MODKEYCHANGE to change writing direction
Unfortunately, #105224# refers to the StarDivision bug tracker.
However, looking at that commit, it looks a bit like it may be supposed to be a
feature to switch to RTL by pressing Ctrl+Right_Shift and to LTR by pressing
Ctrl+Left_Shift, at least when no other keys are pressed in addition?
For gtk3, I actually only get the switch when not pressing another key in
addition (i.e. the Ctrl+Shift_Right+P case described here does not trigger the
change in writing direction), while it's different for kf5.
With the change from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=144412#c2">comment 2</a>, switching between RTL and LTR also no longer
happens for kf5 when no other key is pressed in addition.</pre>
