I mainly work with Hebrew text, and I wish there was a way of adjusting Sigil for it. I'm not referring to producing right-to-left books, that can easily be accomplished with the code, but to the code view itself. Specifically 2 things:

- Upon selecting "rtl mode", right-align everything (at least everything inside <body>). That is, visually align right, do not add "text-align" properties. This should also fix the placement of punctuation.

- Have the cursor move predictably: currently, pressing the left arrow key moves the cursor to the right , and vice-versa, when going over Hebrew letters. Maybe it will fix itself with the above change (?)

Obviously this will make it easier to work with Arabic too and any other rtl script.
