RLM/LRM marks in XML

Question

Hi, Community I prepare the project with xml source files. one of the target languages is Arabic. I need to control right-to-left / left-to-rigt order for some parts of segment. But i cant insert RLM/LRM marks into target: not with hotkey (ctrl+alt+r/ctrl+alt+l(2011)/ctrl+alt+m(>2014)), not with click icon RLM LRM on Ribbon. No that problem if the soorce file is docx/xlsx/html/itd and so on. 
 I can only copy/past the marks from other file. 
 How can I insert the marks, not copy/past

Hello Igor Fatkin 
 If you create new quick inserts for the XML filetype then you will be able to add them. I believe this is because the use of unicode control characters for XML needs to be explicitly set as it's normally better to use markup... although I know this isn't always going to be possible. So here I added two new Quick Inserts to my XML filetype by copy pasting the controls from a Word file... I could not find another way to do this: 
 
 Now I can add these controls in my XML filetype in these ways. Using the new Quick Inserts I just added: 
 
 Or by using the built in controls that are now enabled for this filetype: 
 
 So now I can do this (click the image to see it properly) using some example text I copied from Shai Nave as I often struggle a little with knowing where to place these controls and I also google translated the Arabic so apologies for that too!: 
 
 Hope that helps?
