Right-To-Left Languages like Hebrew/Arabic aren't supported, this makes writing, for instance, Hebrew content almost impossible since all text is reversed.


This feature would insure that I'll buy this, otherwise, great editor.

Switched encoding to Hebrew windows 1255 but still the problem of text being left-to-right persists. To clarify the issue - words like "encoding" would appear for us as "gnidocne".

The problem is that sublime does not support "Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm" http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/


To visualize the problem I'll add screenshot of a sentence in sublime text (wrong form) and the same sentence in Textmate 2 alpha (correct form)

This would give sublime text an edge over other editors for RTL coders.

I think you <!- sublime developers --> have to push in this ASAP .. Many coders here in MENA Region need RTL language support.

I can't see myself switching to any other editor for the time being, so it would be great to have RTL implemented.

This sublime plugin is intended to  overcome this shortfall - http://www.decodize.com/html/sublime-text-2-bidirectional-language-support-plugin/

Many thanks for the efforts. This does help in correctly shaping selected text, and will do as temporary measure till the Sublime team build this functionality into the editor.
