Description

It is quite common in RTL languages to have tables with mixed directionality, for example with a column of "original name" (in the source language/LTR)
For example Eurovision 1966 in hewiki:
https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%95%D7%99%D7%96%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9F_1966

Ideally one would like to set the directionality or at least the text-align to LTR for such columns.
In LibreOffice/Word you can select a column and press Ctrl+Shift (left Ctrl+Shift for left align, right Ctrl+shift for right align) and it would be nice to have similar feature in VE.
