VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Ron Aaron (and Avner Lottem)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hebrew Language support (options & mapping) for Vim *hebrew*
|
||
|
||
The supporting 'rightleft' functionality was originally created by Avner
|
||
Lottem. <alottem at gmail dot com> Ron Aaron <ron at ronware dot org> is
|
||
currently helping support these features.
|
||
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Introduction
|
||
|
||
Hebrew-specific 'keymap' values are "hebrew" and "hebrewp".
|
||
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.
|
||
+ 'keymap' ('kmp') sets keyboard mapping. use values "hebrew" or "hebrewp"
|
||
(the latter option enables phonetic mapping)
|
||
+ 'delcombine' ('deco'), boolean, 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).
|
||
+ 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' is set and
|
||
'keymap' is set to "hebrew".
|
||
|
||
+ Keyboard:
|
||
+ The 'allowrevins' option enables the CTRL-_ command in Insert mode.
|
||
|
||
+ CTRL-_ in Insert mode toggles 'revins'.
|
||
|
||
CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text.
|
||
|
||
Note: On some keyboards, CTRL-_ is mapped to CTRL-?.
|
||
|
||
+ Keyboard mapping while 'keymap' is "hebrew" (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 .
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
and exited via CTRL-_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
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.
