+
+Hebrew Language support (options & mapping) for Vim *hebrew*
+
+The supporting 'rightleft' functionality was originally created by Avner
+Lottem:
+ E-mail: alottem@iil.intel.com
+ Phone: +972-4-8307322
+
+Ron Aaron <ron@ronware.org> is currently helping support these features.
+
+{Vi does not have any of these commands}
+
+All this is only available when the |+rightleft| feature was enabled at
+compile time.
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+Hebrew-specific options are 'hkmap', 'hkmapp' 'keymap'=hebrew and 'aleph'.
+Hebrew-useful options are 'delcombine', 'allowrevins', 'revins', 'rightleft'
+and 'rightleftcmd'.
+
+The 'rightleft' mode reverses the display order, so characters are displayed
+from right to left instead of the usual left to right. This is useful
+primarily when editing Hebrew or other Middle-Eastern languages.
+See |rileft.txt| for further details.
+
+Details
+--------------
++ Options:
+ + 'rightleft' ('rl') sets window orientation to right-to-left. This means
+ that the logical text 'ABC' will be displayed as 'CBA', and will start
+ drawing at the right edge of the window, not the left edge.
+ + 'hkmap' ('hk') sets keyboard mapping to Hebrew, in insert/replace modes.
+ + 'aleph' ('al'), numeric, holds the decimal code of Aleph, for keyboard
+ mapping.
+ + 'hkmapp' ('hkp') sets keyboard mapping to 'phonetic hebrew'
+
+ NOTE: these three ('hkmap', 'hkmapp' and 'aleph') are obsolete. You should
+ use ":set keymap=hebrewp" instead.
+
+ + 'delcombine' ('deco'), boolean, if editing UTF-8 encoded Hebrew, allows
+ one to remove the niqud or te`amim by pressing 'x' on a character (with
+ associated niqud).
+
+ + 'rightleftcmd' ('rlc') makes the command-prompt for searches show up on
+ the right side. It only takes effect if the window is 'rightleft'.
+
++ Encoding:
+ + Under Unix, ISO 8859-8 encoding (Hebrew letters codes: 224-250).
+ + Under MS DOS, PC encoding (Hebrew letters codes: 128-154).
+ These are defaults, that can be overridden using the 'aleph' option.
+ + You should prefer using UTF8, as it supports the combining-characters
+ ('deco' does nothing if UTF8 encoding is not active).
+
++ Vim arguments:
+ + 'vim -H file' starts editing a Hebrew file, i.e. 'rightleft' and 'hkmap'
+ are set.
+
++ Keyboard:
+ + The 'allowrevins' option enables the CTRL-_ command in Insert mode and
+ in Command-line mode.
+
+ + CTRL-_ in insert/replace modes toggles 'revins' and 'hkmap' as follows:
+
+ When in rightleft window, 'revins' and 'nohkmap' are toggled, since
+ English will likely be inserted in this case.
+
+ When in norightleft window, 'revins' 'hkmap' are toggled, since Hebrew
+ will likely be inserted in this case.
+
+ CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text.
+
+ + CTRL-_ in command mode only toggles keyboard mapping (see Bugs below).
+ This setting is independent of 'hkmap' option, which only applies to
+ insert/replace mode.
+
+ Note: On some keyboards, CTRL-_ is mapped to CTRL-?.
+
+ + Keyboard mapping while 'hkmap' is set (standard Israeli keyboard):
+
+ q w e r t y u i o p
+ / ' ק ר א ט ו ן ם פ
+
+ a s d f g h j k l ; '
+ ש ד ג כ ע י ח ל ך ף ,
+
+ z x c v b n m , . /
+ ז ס ב ה נ מ צ ת ץ .
+
+ This is also the keymap when 'keymap=hebrew' is set. The advantage of
+ 'keymap' is that it works properly when using UTF8, e.g. it inserts the
+ correct characters; 'hkmap' does not. The 'keymap' keyboard can also
+ insert niqud and te`amim. To see what those mappings are,look at the
+ keymap file 'hebrew.vim' etc.
+
+
+Typing backwards
+
+If the 'revins' (reverse insert) option is set, inserting happens backwards.
+This can be used to type Hebrew. When inserting characters the cursor is not
+moved and the text moves rightwards. A <BS> deletes the character under the
+cursor. CTRL-W and CTRL-U also work in the opposite direction. <BS>, CTRL-W
+and CTRL-U do not stop at the start of insert or end of line, no matter how
+the 'backspace' option is set.
+
+There is no reverse replace mode (yet).
+
+If the 'showmode' option is set, "-- REVERSE INSERT --" will be shown in the
+status line when reverse Insert mode is active.
+
+When the 'allowrevins' option is set, reverse Insert mode can be also entered
+via CTRL-_, which has some extra functionality: First, keyboard mapping is
+changed according to the window orientation -- if in a left-to-right window,
+'revins' is used to enter Hebrew text, so the keyboard changes to Hebrew
+('hkmap' is set); if in a right-to-left window, 'revins' is used to enter
+English text, so the keyboard changes to English ('hkmap' is reset). Second,
+when exiting 'revins' via CTRL-_, the cursor moves to the end of the typed
+text (if possible).
+
+
+Pasting when in a rightleft window
+----------------------------------
+When cutting text with the mouse and pasting it in a rightleft window
+the text will be reversed, because the characters come from the cut buffer
+from the left to the right, while inserted in the file from the right to
+the left. In order to avoid it, toggle 'revins' (by typing CTRL-? or CTRL-_)
+before pasting.
+
+
+Hebrew characters and the 'isprint' variable
+--------------------------------------------
+Sometimes Hebrew character codes are in the non-printable range defined by
+the 'isprint' variable. For example in the Linux console, the Hebrew font
+encoding starts from 128, while the default 'isprint' variable is @,161-255.
+The result is that all Hebrew characters are displayed as ~x. To solve this
+problem, set isprint=@,128-255.
