Directionality is meaningless unless the application stores it somehow.
This means that the application needs to be able to tell what direction
to apply to each text control.
I don't know QT nearly well enough to answer this completely, so treat
everything I say as a basis for discussion rather than as a firm
recommendation.
As far as I can tell, a text control should have one of three modes:
Left to right
Right to left
Content controlled (typically - first strict directional character of
line determines direction)
Also, each control should have the option to have each line of separate
directionality, or the entire control of one directionality.
As far as what should be done, this depends on the application. If kate
is a pure text editor, with no allowances in the file format for meta
data, then it should probably be in the third form (content control). A
word processor should definitely control explicitly each line, and set
the paragraph explicitly. A browser should set the URL line explicitly
to left to right, and so on.
Just my 2 euro cents.
