As far as I have learned, AvalonEdit does not have open support for the textAlignment property, such as HorizontalAlignment for the text itself.

Link to the documentation
The official AvalonEdit repository

if you really need to align to the right, then you can do this:

private void TextAligmentRight_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MySuperTextEditor.TextArea.TextView.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
    TextAligmentRight();
}

private void TextAligmentRight()
{
    var document = MySuperTextEditor.Document;

    int maxLengthLine = 0;

    //We go through all the lines of the document to find the maximum line length.
    for (int lineNumber = 1; lineNumber <= document.LineCount; lineNumber++)
    {
        DocumentLine line = document.GetLineByNumber(lineNumber);

        string lineText = document.GetText(line);
        int lengthLineText = lineText.Length;

        if (lengthLineText > maxLengthLine)
        {
            maxLengthLine = lengthLineText;
        }
    }
    var updatedText = new StringBuilder();

    //We go through all the lines of the document and add indents to align to the right edge.
    for (int lineNumber = 1; lineNumber <= document.LineCount; lineNumber++)
    {
        DocumentLine line = document.GetLineByNumber(lineNumber);

        string lineText = document.GetText(line);
        int lengthLineText = lineText.Length;
        int lengthDifference = maxLengthLine - lengthLineText;

        if (lengthDifference > 0)
        {
            lineText = new string(' ', lengthDifference) + lineText;
        }

        updatedText.AppendLine(lineText);
    }
    MySuperTextEditor.Text = updatedText.ToString();
}

but now, to align to the left, you need to do the opposite.
