Hi,
I've noticed a peculiar behavior when writing an Hebrew document in LyX.
Whenever I type parentheses they get reversed. The problem does not
happen when switching to English. For example if i type ( <shift+9> I
get ) <shift+0> instead, and vice-versa. This happens with all kinds of
bracketing including <>, [], {}.
I can see the logic behind this, treating logically <shift+9> as
"opening parenthesis" and <shift+0> as "closing parenthesis", and them
mapping it, logically, to Hebrew which is right-to-left. However, this
is quiet annoying, because no other program behaves that way.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
Guy
I am not fully sure from what you write which parenthesis you get on
which key combination.
In a document with Hebrew set as language I get "(" on <Shift+9> and ")"
on <Shift+0>. So, that seems to be what you desire. So, in that case I
cannot reproduce what you see.
However, this is with an English, German, etc. keyboard layout. This
changes if I switch to the Hebrew keyboard layout. But then the Hebrew
keyboard layout seems to have parenthesis switched relative to the English:

So, if you are using a Hebrew keyboard layout, then LyX seems to behave
correctly. But in that case I am wondering why other applications don't
behave that way for you.
Best,
Daniel
