Hi Khaled,
I've got the following report:
----- 8< -----
The Arabic keyboard layout in X11 has the less-than sign (<) on the same
position as the left curly bracket ({) in the English keyboard layout.
Same for > and }. If I type in the terminal, these two display as
printed on the Arabic keyboard. However, in both LibreOffice and gedit,
which support RTL, the < and > signs are swapped. So when I type 1<2, it
displays 2>1 aligned to right. I guess that someone has made the effort
to swap the symbols and this is the intended behaviour and that users
expect this. But I would be very grateful if some native speaker could
confirm this.
Please see the attached screenshot, showing the string "1<2" entered
into the gnome-terminal, gedit and LibreOffice.
----- 8< ----
Can you please help me to understand what is the correct, expected
behavior? :-)
Thank you,
Kendy
