Re: [emacs-bidi] Control-key binding while typing (for example) Hebrew

Amit,

Glad you've got it mostly working.  

I'm not sure I grasp your situation entirely, and don't myself understand exactly how the Emacs input methods work, but I'll hazard a guess, which you probably already have guessed as well, that the Emacs hebrew-lyx input method you are using defines some keys and lets the rest pass through to your operating system's normal keystroke handler, which is in your case is set to English Dvorak.  If that fits with what you see you might be able to extend the input method you are using to do what you want.  The file is pretty easy to read.  You might also try the hebrew-lyx input method with your OS's keyboard set to a different setting (USA/UK), but if you change back and forth a lot you probably won't want to change both the Emacs input method and the OS 'keyboard'.

Best,

Scot

Amit,

Are you using one of the new input methods, introduced to us in this
message:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-bidi/2010-05/msg00025.html

I must have overlooked this message. It's now
working very well, except some minor issues.

The problematic issue seems to be related to the fact that I'm using an English Dvorak keyboard layout, and Hebrew Lyx. What
happens is that when the Hebrew Lyx input method is active some keys
give the English Dvorak characters. This happen with the brackets,
equal sign and perhaps some more keys that change position between
Hebrew and English.

For example, the standard equal key, two keys to the right of the zero
key, gives a right bracket in Hebrew Lyx input method, which is its
Dvorak mapping.

This is not a serious problem, and I'll try looking into it.

Tanks again,

Amit
