With 'revins' set, I expect Vim will insert the characters in the wrong
sequence into your buffer, i.e., the last character of the word will be
first in the buffer, which means the Arabic will be displayed correctly
in 'norightleft' mode in Vim, but if the same file is viewed by, let's
say, a browser (all modern browsers are bidi-capable), the Arabic will
appear reversed.
If the text gets inserted the wrong way in a terminal, but not in gvim,
with 'rightleft' on and 'revins' off, it may mean that you are running
on a full-bidi terminal. In that case you should set 'termbidi' and not
'rightleft' (see ":help 'termbidi' for details).
Of course, the GUI is not a full-bidi terminal, and you may be running
Console Vim on the same machine on different terminals, some of them
full-bidi and others not, so you should test all that in your vimrc,
something like:
if !has('gui_running') &&
\ (&term == 'blablabli' || &term == 'blablabla')
set termbidi norightleft
endif
Best regards,
Tony.
