I use the following script to change Text Direction (LTR/RTL) in both Views.

notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.EDIT_LTR)
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_GOTO_ANOTHER_VIEW)
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.EDIT_LTR)
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_GOTO_ANOTHER_VIEW)

After the script is run, the Synchronized Scroll is turned off.
What might be the cause?

Is there a better way to change Text Direction in both Views?
I couldn't find a way to do that with editor1 and editor2.

Thank you.

It should be:
notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_SWITCHTO_OTHER_VIEW)

Still, Is there a better way?

Thanks.

No, I don't think there is a better way. I've had a quick look at what MENUCOMMAND.EDIT_LTR does, and it alters the window style, which you can't do from Scintilla (at least not as far as I can see - there's no docs on it).

Thank you Dave.

I had read the excellent Python Script documentation, and couldn't find a different way.
Your confirmation is important to me. I appreciate your time.

Regards.
