err... VIM. But not exactly...

vim has had (for a long time, and thank to Avner Lottem) some sort of
support of "logical hebrew editing" by revering the whole display. Thus
whenever you need to edit the hebrewe bit you switch the display to RTL,
and whenever you need to edit english text, you switch back to LTR.

I have bindings for it to have <F9> both flip the screen and switch to
hebrew keyboard.

I figure it might be useful, as it is available *now*. (BTW: if you have
mandrake 8.1, I suggest that you upgrade vim to the latest version,
probably from the 8.2 beta: they used a pre-release of vim 6.0, and it is
a bit buggy)

(and VIM is really a good editor ;-)
