Typing Backwards in Eclipse
Posted by dennis in Random on 06 12th, 2006 | 2 responses
This is just a random tidbit, but I thought it was pretty cool. I’m not sure if this is a hidden easter egg or actual functionality. I was recently working in Eclipse and after an interesting keyboard sequence I was typing from right to left. No matter what I typed within the current document it was displayed backwards. I thought it was something buggy with memory consumption, but it turns out that none of my other files were behaving the same. After I closed the offending document and opened it back up everything was back to normal. Check out the screen below to see the goods.

Interesting, I bet that is in there to support languages like Arabic that are written that way.
