--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Ctrl+l/r-shift are not effective as long CTL/CJK is not enabled. Otherwise it
changes the text direction from RTL to superordinate object setting (might
depend on the actual scenario). 

Latin-only users may argue that shortcuts must not be hard-coded and the
commands are available individually (ctrl+shift+a/d for LTR/RTL) so
consequently to remove the code.

RTL users are however familiar with the shortcut. The expectation is, for LTR
text, that pressing ctrl+l-shift a) aligns left and b) keeps/sets the
superordinate direction, and ctrl+r-shit a) right aligns and b) changes the
text direction to RTL; and vice versa for RTL source.

Removing the code might be reasonable after bug 163675 (or bug 131192) about an
additional start/end alignment is introduced.
