You can have what you call the "explicit mode" if you set the variable bidi-display-reordering to nil. This only supports the LTR explicit mode, though. Personally, I don't see when would the RTL explicit mode be useful: there's no RTL-only text in real life, so some reordering is always required. But maybe I'm missing something. > I'm making the strong claim that by running the UBA a terminal > emulator doesn't become BiDi aware, there's much more it needs to do. Like I said, you are welcome to test the rest of your requirements and ask questions if you think something is not supported or isn't working as expected.
