Comment:This is a part of the proposals made by the "Additional Requirements
for Bidi in HTML" W3C First Public Working Draft. For a full description of the
use cases, please see 
http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#set-direction
[http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#set-direction]
. Here is the proposal made there:

The HTML specification should recommended that on an OS that has a widespread
convention for setting direction (such as CTRL + LEFT SHIFT for LTR and CTRL +
RIGHT SHIFT for RTL on Windows), the user agent should support that convention
on input and textarea elements (although it may provide other methods too).
