In the text box, change the direction of the current line from "rtl" to "ltr"

I have a text area with a direction from right to left

#myTextarea
{
    direction: rtl; 
}

in the event, with jquery, I change direction from left to right:

$('#myTextarea').css('direction', 'ltr');

this moves the entire contents of the text area from right to left.

I want to move only the current line and leave the previous lines in their default direction.

Is there any way to achieve this?

This is not possible, the direction of the text can be applied only to the entire element textarea, and not to its lines.

You can try inserting characters '\u202E'at the beginning of a line that changes direction.
