Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's great that the default hint is what is on the longpress keys, but having the default be the leftmost one of the longpress keys is opposite of what the user would want. The user will longpress and then scan or move right to left through the options.

### Describe the solution you'd like

When the keyboard is for a right-to-left language, use the rightmost longpress key. When there are multiple (like more than 3) the bottom rightmost is the one I would want to be the default hint. This rightmost key is the one I'm judging to be the most frequently used and the closes distance for the user.
