Apologies if this feature is already supported, but I haven't been able to find it in the API docs

It would be very useful to have a TextInput which supports right alignment (for entry of financial amounts, for example)

Currently it just left aligns the value in the Form

would cause a few UI issues, especially related to the text cursor.

I didn't think this through properly. Closing ticket :-)

It would probably also be helpful for other languages, e.g. Hebrew. But it would add a lot of complexity to the package that I'm not considering it at this point.
