--- Comment #3 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at redhat.com> ---
So, with additional context from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2164, this is actually a Linux user, not a Safari user (but you had no way to know because, this wasn't mentioned). So, let's reopen this and reassign to WebKitGTK.

We surely don't expect WebKit clients to manually add custom keyboard shortcuts for reversing text alignment to every text entry (there's no straightforward way for applications to do that anyway), so that needs to be handled by WebKit itself. I guess applications could do it if WebKit were to provide a new editing command, but if WebKit is going to provide that, it might as well hook up a standard keyboard shortcut, same as it does for Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, etc.

In the Epiphany bug there is an additional suggestion to add a context menu item. That would require exposing a new WebKitContextMenuAction.
