How to change the text direction on Windows?

I was typing something in Chrome and all of a sudden, the text reversed. It was now typing Right-to-Left like Arabic instead of Left-to-Right. I tried elsewhere and it was fine. It only affected that particular textbox. After refreshing, everything was normal.

I think I might have hit some keys accidentally. Any idea how this happened and what I can do next time?

The right-to-left editing mode must've been activated by a keyboard short-shortcut. In Chrome, it's Ctrl + Left Shift and in Firefox it's Ctrl+Shift+X.
