I think they are, but voting for it and commenting/confirming should help
(e.g. ask them to add the "¶<" and ">¶" icons to the toolbar, at least as a
plugin) :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181311

Note that they say that RightCtl+Shift should do the trick (but you might
have to select the whole text before).

BTW, in thunderbird, the shortcut for changing directionality is
Ctrl+Shift+X (but I think you can set the default direction to RTL in the
options)
