Hebrew editing lilypond

[Aaron Mehl]

Hi all,

I am most impressed I can now output hebrew with
lilypond !

But I thought it would be wise to my editor results.

I tried emacs but couldn't figure out how to type
hebrew, I know it doesn't support bidi (bidirection)
so I  didn't try so hard.

jedit: I didn't have a clue how to make it type
hebrew, any jedit gurus out there?

gvim: After googling for the thread I started on
linux-il I was able to type hebrew, the setup isn't
painless but it sure works.

here is what I did:

in gvim type this:
:set rightleft
After you do this, the screen should flip right-left,
but still input English in insert mode. Then do
:set hkmap
and insert mode should input Hebrew (you'll see it as
Hebrew if you use a iso8859-8 font). Note 'insert
mode'.

go to the edit window and choose a hebrew font.
I am on linux so I install the culmus fonts.
I choose miriam and in kde switched to the il keyboard
and viola hebrew.

If anyone has other editors that work with hebrew
please let me know.

Aaron
