The platform-independent directionality setting keyboard shortcut in FireFox is Ctrl-Shift-X. It works on Windows and Linux. In IE and Chrome (on Windows), the keyboard shortcut for this purpose is Ctrl-Shift (LeftShift or RightShift). To my surprise, today I discovered that Ctrl-Shift now also works in the current FireFox (26) on Windows. (I have Win7, but I doubt that's important.) However, it only works on <input> and <textarea>. On conteneditable, it is ignored - but Ctrl-Shift-X works (kind of - see bug 962015). Could we get Ctrl-Shift to work on Windows on contenteditable too? RTL users are mouch more familiar with Ctrl-Shift (which also works in all Microsoft products, e.g. Word) than with Mozilla's Ctrl-Shift-X.
Handy URL for testing:
data:text/html,<html><body><div contenteditable="true">Edit me!</div></body></html>

I bet this check is causing this: <https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/66db4ae2f2c7#l3.225>
Not sure why I did that in bug 98160 :/
