Then, with your cursor at the end of the line (and invisible), hold Shift and keep arrowing to the left. To replicate, type several lines of normal English, then put a few Hebrew characters at the end of a line. TextEdit and Pages get this right, but TaskPaper does very weird stuff. The actual problem is when I use Shift+Arrow keys to select text around the Hebrew letters.

In TaskPaper 3.2.1.207, the cursor just disappears, so the split cursor behavior from build 203 is probably the correct behavior.īUT, the disappearing cursor is not actually my main problem, it was just the simplest aspect to describe. So the split cursor means “If the next thing you type is RTL, it goes on this side, but if not, it goes on the other.” But the moment you type a space or a Latin character, both TextEdit and Pages jump the cursor to the right of the RTL string and resume typing in normal LTR mode. When you start typing characters in an RTL script in the middle of an LTR line, any successive RTL characters are added in RTL order. TextEdit’s behavior is making a lot more sense to me now.įirst of all, the split cursor in TextEdit is actually almost certainly on purpose.
