Text direction

Last modified: 11 February 2024

PyCharm enables you to choose the base direction for rendering strings and tokens , containing bidirectional text, like a mix of English and Hebrew or Arabic.

By default, the direction for rendering is content-based, which means that text direction is defined by the text with which the string begins. For example, if the string starts with English, then the base direction of the text is considered left-to-right.

However, it is also possible to always use either left-to-right or right-to-left as the base direction.

Depending on the selection, bidirectional string literals change their appearance:
