I always loved how sublime text supported RTL by just putting the characters in their physical left to right order. It made it super easy to work with rtl text. Just put the characters in a row, in ‘reverse’ order.
Now with the latest update, it is now unusable for a programmer who encounters RTL text because it writes the text all on top of itself. So this is a huge issue. programmers generally don’t need RTL support as in showing it so RTL readers can read it. They need support so they can IGNORE the RTL text and just paste in strings and open documents and edit them.
The is is a HUGE issue. At our company, we can no longer edit half the files we have, eg to change an xml tag or change some code because after all these years of perfect RTL handling, sudently the RTL text is showing up on top of the regular text.
