Try it with text that is actually RTL :)

Without looking at the code, I guess that you capture keypress events, and if
it's a right arrow, you move it one character forward, and vice versa. But for
RTL right is backward etc.

Simply reversing the direction for RTL text will not be enough, because an LTR
word in the middle of an RTL paragraph will mess things up. And that's just one
of the many complications. It took Gecko and Webkit developers years to get it
right and both still have bugs.

The best way to handle arrow events is to simply let the browser handle them.
