How do you make you computer type everything backwards?

I did this once on accident and I have no clue what I did. I also want to know how to undo it, if you know.

    The average computer user (non-programmer), takes for granted that when you type a key on the keyboard in an editor, the character appears on the screen. In the editor's code, the software detects when a key is pressed and then it deliberately runs code to display the associated character on the screen after the previous character.

    The quickest way I would do this if someone asked....

    If one wanted everything they typed to be reversed, in essence instead of displaying the next character pressed "after" the previous character, you would just instead place the new character "in front of" the previous character.

    Sort of like an "insert" in a text editor.

    The above method is if you want everything in reverse as you are typing it. If you can wait until all the text is entered and then you want to reverse it, it is even easier. Just create a loop in code to loop through each of the characters in the text block, either forward or backwards, and display each character.

    string test = "hello world";

    int len = test.Length;

    for (int x =len-1; x>=0; x--) {

    char ch = test[x];

    System.Console.Write(ch);

    }

    unplug the computer, turn the plug over and plug it back in
