  • This may not always work, since you can have ltr characters in an rtl keyboard layout. For example, the number "123" will always appear like that even within an arabic text: "FED 123 CBA", and you can obviously type those digits while in the arabic keyboard mode. Commented Mar 21, 2013 at 23:07
  • Well, whenever the character set is available in both languages, I would urge the user to default to English. Like here, since the numbers are same in Arabic and English, the user should default to ltr. Maybe you can make the IDE recognize such patterns. Commented Mar 22, 2013 at 14:42
