Alignment on the right

Post by neutrinou »

Hello,
Really sorry to bug you with this little problem. Couln't find anything in the previous posts. And did not find the solution myself or in the help.
By mistake, I pressed some keys and now my columns are aligned on the right.
I would like to have them back on the left.
Please help me.
Thanks ! (and thank you for this excellent tool !)

It sounds like a case of RTL (Right-To-Left) system.
I don't know if the "Toggle LTR/RTL direction" feature was enabled also for LTR systems (RTL alignment can be useful also for the LTRs in some cases).

Anyway, try:
1. Menu | View > "Toggle LTR/RTL direction"
2. RightClick in the Results pane, and in the context menu you will have "Toggle LTR/RTL direction".
3. LeftCtrl+LeftShift for LTR. (RightCtrl+RightShift for RTL)

Thanks a lot, Stamimail !
This is just amazing. I found the menu line where you told me to find it. I used it. Everything was fixed. But I can't find this menu line anymore. Strange...
Anyway, I don't need it, it was just a mistake.

I tried to trigger the shortcuts, with no success.

Whatever, it all neat and nice now.
Thanks again.

All the best

As far as I know, this feature is enabled when you have a RTL lang keyboard input, in your localization settings.

In Windows 7 and 8, the following keyboard shortcuts exist when both left-to-right and right-to-left languages are installed

So that's why I don't see (those shortcuts making any difference).

If you want to try the view swapping, I think this feature is available for LTRs in:
Options > Keyboard Shortcuts

Look for:
Toggle LTR/RTL direction

and set a hotkey.

you might find it helpful when you want the filenames/extensions aligned to the right.
