I have accidently :set rl thinking it's for relative lines. I have activated right to left mode. The doc for rightleft doesn't say how to reverse rl mode without exiting vim.
How does one go left to right in vim?

:set norl
or
:set norightleft
Each boolean option in Vim has a corresponding no-option that turns it off.
The option you were originally looking for might have been relativenumber (rnu), which acts like number (nu) but adds line numbers that are relative to the current line rather than to the start of the editing buffer.

@JoL I wasn't 100% it was all of them, so I didn't want to make a definite statement, and I'm still not entirely certain :-)2019-02-22 10:25:27 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2019 at 10:25

I haven't tried them all either, but the documentation for
:setdescribes it as a generic syntax rather than some convention::se[t] no{option} Toggle option: Reset, switch it off.. It also has other syntaxes like:se[t] inv{option},:se[t] {option}!, and:se[t] {option}?.JoL– JoL2019-02-22 16:46:51 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2019 at 16:46
Turn options on or off with !
set rightleft!
To quote the Vim help:
*:set-!* *:set-inv*
:se[t] {option}! or
:se[t] inv{option} Toggle option: Invert value. {not in Vi}
You can see this in the built-in Vim help by typing :help :set-! from inside Vim.
