Yes, I think the correct mapping for the Ctrl+Shift (or equivalent) actions is
to Editor::setBaseWritingDirection(). That function has specific code to set
the 'dir' DOM attribute on text entry elements. It is also the function that
implements the Writing Direction submenu of the context menu you get when you
right-click in a text entry element or in editable HTML. I think Ctrl+Shift
should have the same effect as choosing the appropriate item from the context
menu, so it follows that it should call in to the same function.
