[sorry about that goof above, couldn't find the delete function]
Hi,
Sorry to barge in on this, but I fail to see the *exact* connection between bidi.edit.delete_immediately and the problem that Yuval Adam has reported.
The way I understand it bidi.edit.delete_immediately is supposed to offer alternate behaviors of backspace when deleting characters _between_ _direction_ _boundraries_. In other words: it's only supposed to affect a backspace key pressed when the text in front of the cursor was written in one direction (say, left-to-right) and the text in rear of the cursor was written in the other direction (say, right-to-left).
In this case the description is of something *else*: when deleting hebrew text, even if there is _no_ change in direction, _every_ character deletion requires _two_ backspace clicks.
Or am I missing something here?
