Right to Left (Hebrew) support in IntelliJ Community Edition

Question

Is there a plugin or an easy way to write right to left in IntelliJ Community Edition? Maybe a hack that developers are using? I'm writing an Hebrew android application and it's really hard to write the resources files.

Answer 1

Steps to solve this are apparently made for Idea 15, Currently (August 2015) in early access.

See this comment: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-5810#comment=27-1015891 You need to add the line editor.new.rendering=true to your idea.properties file for it to work.

I just tested it, and it seems to be working pretty well, but it is an early access.

I'm facing the same problem here, I'm trying to write Persian apps in intellij and it's really annoying!
I kind of use a hack to solve the problem. I edit everything in intellij except string.xml file. I edit this file with other editors that have no problems with with rtl languages. It's not the perfect solution but its a lot better! I use bracket IDE. It is a very simple IDE for developing web apps and it works with rtl languages as well.
