1 *hebrew.txt* For Vim version 7.3. Last change: 2007 Jun 14 |

| 4 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Ron Aaron (and Avner Lottem) | |

| 7 Hebrew Language support (options & mapping) for Vim *hebrew* | |
| 8 | |
| 9 The supporting 'rightleft' functionality was originally created by Avner | |
| 1623 | 10 Lottem. <alottem at gmail dot com> Ron Aaron <ron at ronware dot org> is |
| 11 currently helping support these features. | |
| 7 | 12 |
| 13 {Vi does not have any of these commands} | |
| 14 | |
| 15 All this is only available when the |+rightleft| feature was enabled at | |
| 16 compile time. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 | |
| 19 Introduction | |
| 20 ------------ | |
| 21 Hebrew-specific options are 'hkmap', 'hkmapp' 'keymap'=hebrew and 'aleph'. | |
| 22 Hebrew-useful options are 'delcombine', 'allowrevins', 'revins', 'rightleft' | |
| 23 and 'rightleftcmd'. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 The 'rightleft' mode reverses the display order, so characters are displayed | |
| 26 from right to left instead of the usual left to right. This is useful | |
| 27 primarily when editing Hebrew or other Middle-Eastern languages. | |
| 28 See |rileft.txt| for further details. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Details | |
| 31 -------------- | |
| 32 + Options: | |
| 33 + 'rightleft' ('rl') sets window orientation to right-to-left. This means | |
| 34 that the logical text 'ABC' will be displayed as 'CBA', and will start | |
| 35 drawing at the right edge of the window, not the left edge. | |
| 36 + 'hkmap' ('hk') sets keyboard mapping to Hebrew, in insert/replace modes. | |
| 37 + 'aleph' ('al'), numeric, holds the decimal code of Aleph, for keyboard | |
| 38 mapping. | |
| 39 + 'hkmapp' ('hkp') sets keyboard mapping to 'phonetic hebrew' | |
| 40 | |
| 41 NOTE: these three ('hkmap', 'hkmapp' and 'aleph') are obsolete. You should | |
| 42 use ":set keymap=hebrewp" instead. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 + 'delcombine' ('deco'), boolean, if editing UTF-8 encoded Hebrew, allows | |
| 45 one to remove the niqud or te`amim by pressing 'x' on a character (with | |
| 46 associated niqud). | |
| 47 | |
| 48 + 'rightleftcmd' ('rlc') makes the command-prompt for searches show up on | |
| 49 the right side. It only takes effect if the window is 'rightleft'. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 + Encoding: | |
| 52 + Under Unix, ISO 8859-8 encoding (Hebrew letters codes: 224-250). | |
| 53 + Under MS DOS, PC encoding (Hebrew letters codes: 128-154). | |
| 54 These are defaults, that can be overridden using the 'aleph' option. | |
| 55 + You should prefer using UTF8, as it supports the combining-characters | |
| 56 ('deco' does nothing if UTF8 encoding is not active). | |
| 57 | |
| 58 + Vim arguments: | |
| 59 + 'vim -H file' starts editing a Hebrew file, i.e. 'rightleft' and 'hkmap' | |
| 60 are set. | |
| 61 | |
| 62 + Keyboard: | |
| 63 + The 'allowrevins' option enables the CTRL-_ command in Insert mode and | |
| 64 in Command-line mode. | |
| 65 | |
| 66 + CTRL-_ in insert/replace modes toggles 'revins' and 'hkmap' as follows: | |
| 67 | |
| 68 When in rightleft window, 'revins' and 'nohkmap' are toggled, since | |
| 69 English will likely be inserted in this case. | |
| 70 | |
| 71 When in norightleft window, 'revins' 'hkmap' are toggled, since Hebrew | |
| 72 will likely be inserted in this case. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text. | |
| 75 | |
| 76 + CTRL-_ in command mode only toggles keyboard mapping (see Bugs below). | |
| 77 This setting is independent of 'hkmap' option, which only applies to | |
| 78 insert/replace mode. | |
| 79 | |
| 80 Note: On some keyboards, CTRL-_ is mapped to CTRL-?. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 + Keyboard mapping while 'hkmap' is set (standard Israeli keyboard): | |
| 83 | |
| 84 q w e r t y u i o p | |
| 85 / ' ק ר א ט ו ן ם פ | |
| 86 | |
| 87 a s d f g h j k l ; ' | |
| 88 ש ד ג כ ע י ח ל ך ף , | |
| 89 | |
| 90 z x c v b n m , . / | |
| 91 ז ס ב ה נ מ צ ת ץ . | |
| 92 | |
| 93 This is also the keymap when 'keymap=hebrew' is set. The advantage of | |
| 94 'keymap' is that it works properly when using UTF8, e.g. it inserts the | |
| 95 correct characters; 'hkmap' does not. The 'keymap' keyboard can also | |
| 3830 | 96 insert niqud and te`amim. To see what those mappings are, look at the |
| 7 | 97 keymap file 'hebrew.vim' etc. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | |
| 100 Typing backwards | |
| 101 | |
| 102 If the 'revins' (reverse insert) option is set, inserting happens backwards. | |
| 103 This can be used to type Hebrew. When inserting characters the cursor is not | |
| 104 moved and the text moves rightwards. A <BS> deletes the character under the | |
| 105 cursor. CTRL-W and CTRL-U also work in the opposite direction. <BS>, CTRL-W | |
| 106 and CTRL-U do not stop at the start of insert or end of line, no matter how | |
| 107 the 'backspace' option is set. | |
| 108 | |
| 109 There is no reverse replace mode (yet). | |
| 110 | |
| 111 If the 'showmode' option is set, "-- REVERSE INSERT --" will be shown in the | |
| 112 status line when reverse Insert mode is active. | |
| 113 | |
| 114 When the 'allowrevins' option is set, reverse Insert mode can be also entered | |
| 115 via CTRL-_, which has some extra functionality: First, keyboard mapping is | |
| 116 changed according to the window orientation -- if in a left-to-right window, | |
| 117 'revins' is used to enter Hebrew text, so the keyboard changes to Hebrew | |
| 118 ('hkmap' is set); if in a right-to-left window, 'revins' is used to enter | |
| 119 English text, so the keyboard changes to English ('hkmap' is reset). Second, | |
| 120 when exiting 'revins' via CTRL-_, the cursor moves to the end of the typed | |
| 121 text (if possible). | |
| 122 | |
| 123 | |
| 124 Pasting when in a rightleft window | |
| 125 ---------------------------------- | |
| 126 When cutting text with the mouse and pasting it in a rightleft window | |
| 127 the text will be reversed, because the characters come from the cut buffer | |
| 128 from the left to the right, while inserted in the file from the right to | |
| 129 the left. In order to avoid it, toggle 'revins' (by typing CTRL-? or CTRL-_) | |
| 130 before pasting. | |
| 131 | |
| 132 | |
| 133 Hebrew characters and the 'isprint' variable | |
| 134 -------------------------------------------- | |
| 135 Sometimes Hebrew character codes are in the non-printable range defined by | |
| 136 the 'isprint' variable. For example in the Linux console, the Hebrew font | |
| 137 encoding starts from 128, while the default 'isprint' variable is @,161-255. | |
| 138 The result is that all Hebrew characters are displayed as ~x. To solve this | |
| 139 problem, set isprint=@,128-255. | |
