Thanks Yutaka!

And since everybody reinstates their wishlist, I'll contribute my two bits, actually just one: BiDi support.

Judging by my Hebrew support experience, it seems that bi-directional text is already supported to some extent. (That's why I picked EmEditor in the first place. I tried at least half a dozen other editors before I decided on it.) UNICODE is supported, and Windows has built-in Bi-Di support too. Doesn't the support of Japanese also require Bi-Di support?

So, aren't you already half way there? Would it be such a major undertaking? I hope you have at least plans to support it one day, do you?

Historically, EmEditor's design didn't support RTL or bi-di languages. Japanese is not one of the RTL or bi-di languages.
Supporting the RTL or bi-di languages mean almost complete re-design of the core of EmEditor, so it is challenging. However, given such enormous demands, I might consider that in future versions, but not in v11. I hope you understand.

Thanks!

Dear Yutaka,

My apologies regarding my less-than-tolerable knowledge of even the most basic facts about the Japanese language. I have to look it up...

Regarding BiDi/RTL: let me hastily say that yes, I do understand your hesitation to commit major efforts just to support something which might not translate into demand.

But look, even as it is, EmEditor correctly displays Hebrew, unless spell checking is ON. When this is so, it reverses the word order in the string, while each word by itself is still correctly displayed. Strange, but not really a major issue. Usually this is enough!

It is however practically impossible to edit Hebrew or even to select parts of it. What I do when the need arises is to select the whole string, sometimes with a bit of LTR text on either side, paste it to MS Notepad, edit what I need there and copy/paste it back. This too is tolerable most of the time.

So, take your time...

Regards,
Meir
