Unless I am grossly mistaken, there is still no bidirectional support in Vim. Yes, Right-to-Left languages like Arabic and Hebrew are supported, but that is not the same as having full bidirectional support.
It seems that even within a bidirectional terminal emulator like mlterm, Vim does not support bidirectionality (I tried). Please correct me if I am wrong, or if I am missing something. Now that even Emacs has introduced true bidirectional support with its latest version, isn't about time that Vim does that too? It will require some hard work, of course, but it is badly needed. Potentially millions of users (speakers of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, etc) would be able to benefit from Vim. Appeal: could someone of the developers please consider working on it? Or, at least, it would help to know what are the chances of seeing true bidirectionality implemented in the short/medium term. Is bidirectional support for Vim on the developers' agenda?
