Hello *,
I'm new to vim. Occasionally I'd like to write Arabic texts.
When doing "vim -A txt" ("txt" being a new, not existing file),
all seems to be at its best: The cursor is in the upper right
corner of the monitor. After going into the enter mode by "i"
there can be read in the lower left corner:
"-- EINFÜGEN Arabisch --" (which means -- ENTERING Arabic --)
But then I explicitly have to enter ":set arabic" in order to enter
Arabic characters, otherwise there would appear latin characters.
Why? I did invoke vim with the option "-A"!
Then in Arabic mode: Though the cursor is going one position to
its left, the second Arabic character is NOT adjusted at the left
side of the first or the following ones, vim writes the Arabic
characters in left to right mode!
After doing ":set rl" or ":set rightleft" or "set: arabicshape"
nothing happens. vim continues writing from left to right.
Please, what should I do? Reading Arabic from left to right is
not really what an Arab is amused about.
In the following is my "vim --version". "Riesige Version ohne GUI" means
"Giant version without GUI". Up to now there is no "$VIM/vimrc",
"$HOME/.vimrc" nor "$HOME/.exrc".
Best regards,
Rudolf
