GNOME Terminal 3.33.3 (VTE 0.57.3) implements BiDi support, according to
the proposal at https://terminal-wg.pages.freedesktop.org/bidi/ .
In alignment with Diego's comments and my responses to them, it
implements multiple modes. Shuffling the characters according to the
BiDi algorithm is enabled
A few other issues:
In implicit BiDi mode, how should BiDi control characters
(LRE/RLE/LRO/RLO/PDF; LRM/RLM) be handled? We need to remember them.
Which cell should they belong to? How to later override the displayed
string to remove any of these, or insert new ones?
In explicit BiDi mode,
Re Diego:
You are basically right. I'd like to add a couple of points.
As for complex apps such as mc, your approach (2) cannot work. This is
because the BiDi algorithm would not just need to shuffle around
characters that are visible in the terminal; it might need to pull
offscreen chars
Um; It would, as we know, mostly ignore RTL reading users.
now RTL works in kde/konsole beautifully, with shaping and everything,
so I'm not sure how problems mentioned in #46 are handeled there, and
I'm sure its not perfect either, but works better than BiCon for example
but if softwares have
So enforcing LC_MESSAGES=C or en_US.UTF-8 as a global override will
ignore this issue completely.
