描述

Arabic is written from right to left, so the window layout need to be essentially mirrored for Arabic.

Current layout (latest git commit): Screenshot_20210523_171619

A few examples about the expected layout:

LibreOffice Impress:

Ark (KDE's archive manager): Screenshot_20210523_173134

Kate (KDE's text editor): Screenshot_20210523_174847 Notice that the status bar is also mirrored ("Line 1, Col 1" is on the right, and the language, encoding etc are on the right). On the other hand, the editing area itself still has the numbers column on its left, and the tabs run from the left, too; I think it's an issue—tabs need to run from right to left, just like in the LibreOffice Impress screenshot above.

研究方向
The issue requires integrating RTL support for the UI, specifically for Arabic. Investigate the existing GTK3 theming and layout code (likely in the UI source files, e.g., `src/gui/`). Check if GTK provides built in RTL support (e.g., `gtk widget set direction`). Review comments for any prior attempts or discussions. The expected behavior is a mirrored layout similar to LibreOffice Impress and Kate. The main window, tabs, and status bar need to be reversed. Start by identifying the main window container and applying RTL direction, then test on a system with Arabic locale.
