Bidirectional text rendering and cursor behavior in editors can be challenging when handling RTL languages and mixed-direction content. This skill provides guidance on how to correctly manage writing directions across platforms (SwiftUI, AppKit, UIKit) and text APIs to ensure accurate display and interaction for Arabic, Hebrew, and mixed scripts.
Ask how to implement robust RTL support across a UITextView by setting baseWritingDirection, applying .writingDirection attributes, and opting into dynamic direction handling where available.

To handle bidirectional text in a UITextView, you need to configure baseWritingDirection via NSParagraphStyle and apply .writingDirection attributes to ensure accurate display and interaction for mixed-direction scripts.
Supporting mixed-direction paragraphs in SwiftUI involves configuring layoutDirection and applying .writingDirection attributes on attributed strings to correctly manage Arabic, Hebrew, and mixed scripts.
Incorrect cursor movement in Arabic or Hebrew text usually occurs when baseWritingDirection is not properly set, requiring precise selection handling and dynamic direction updates via NSParagraphStyle.
Yes, you can use AttributedString APIs to opt into dynamic writing direction handling in iOS 26, ensuring correct display and interaction for dynamic RTL text updates.
To preserve digit order for phone-number-like sequences in RTL text, you must apply specific .writingDirection attributes on your attributed strings to prevent the numbers from reversing unexpectedly.
Yes, configuring writing direction via UITextInput and NSParagraphStyle works across SwiftUI and AppKit/UIKit interfaces to ensure robust bidirectional text handling and accurate display.
