*<A NAME="farsi.txt"></A><B>farsi.txt</B>*     For Vim version 7.3.  Last change: 2010 Aug 07


		  VIM REFERENCE MANUAL    by Mortaza Ghassab Shiran



Right to Left and <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> Mapping for Vim		*<A NAME="farsi"></A><B>farsi</B>* *<A NAME="Farsi"></A><B>Farsi</B>*

{Vi does not have any of these commands}


						*<A NAME="E27"></A><B>E27</B>*
In order to use right-to-left and <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> support, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is necessary to
compile Vim with the |<A HREF="various.html#+farsi">+farsi</A>| feature.

These functions have been made by Mortaza G. Shiran <A HREF="mailto:shiran@jps.net">&lt;shiran@jps.net&gt;</A> 


Introduction
In right-to-left oriented files the characters appear on the screen from right
to left.  This kind of file is most useful when <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> documents,
composing faxes or <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> memos.

The commands, prompts and help files are not in <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A>, therefore the user
interface remains the standard <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> interface.


Highlights
<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Editing left-to-right files <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> in the original Vim, no change.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Viewing and editing files in right-to-left <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.   File orientation is
   per <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, so <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is possible to <A HREF="starting.html#view">view</A> the same file in right-to-left and
   left-to-right modes, simultaneously.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Compatibility to the original Vim.   Almost all features work in
   right-to-left mode (see bugs below).

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Changing keyboard <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> and reverse insert modes using a single
   command.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Backing from reverse insert mode to the correct place in the file
   (if possible).

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  While in <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode, numbers are entered from left to right.  Upon entering
   a none number character, that character will be inserted just into the
   left of the last number.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  No special terminal with right-to-left capabilities is required.  The
   right-to-left changes are completely hardware independent.  Only
   <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> font is necessary.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> keymapping on the command line in reverse insert mode.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Toggling between left-to-right and right-to-left via F8 function key.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Toggling between <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> ISIR-3342 standard encoding and Vim <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> via F9
   function key.  Since this makes sense only for the text written in
   right-to-left mode, this function is also supported only in right-to-left
   mode.

<A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> Fonts					*farsi fonts*

The following files are found in the subdirectories of the '$VIM/farsi/fonts'
directory:

   +  far-a01.pcf    X Windows fonts for <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A> including Linux systems
   +  far-a01.bf     X Windows fonts for SunOS
   +  far-a01.f16    a screen fonts for <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A> including Linux systems
   +  far-a01.fon    a monospaced fonts for Windows NT/95/98
   +  far-a01.com    a screen fonts for <A HREF="os_dos.html#DOS">DOS</A>


Font Installation

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Installation of fonts for MS Window systems (NT/95/98)

   From 'Control Panel' folder, start the 'Fonts' program.  Then from 'file'
   menu item select 'Install New Fonts ...'.  Browse and select the
   'far-a01.fon', then follow the installation guide.
   NOTE: several people have reported that this does not work.  The solution
   is unknown.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Installation of fonts for X Window systems (Unix/Linux)

   Depending on your system, copy far-a01.pcf.Z or far-a01.pcf.gz into a
   directory of your choice.  Change to the directory containing the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A>
   fonts and execute the following commands:

   <A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>  mkfontdir
   <A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>  xset +fp path_name_of_farsi_fonts_directory

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Installation of fonts for X Window systems (SunOS)

   Copy far-a01.bf font into a directory of your choice.
   Change to the directory containing the far-a01.fb fonts and
   execute the following commands:

   <A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>  fldfamily
   <A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>  xset +fp path_name_of_fonts_directory

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Installation of ASCII screen fonts (Unix/Linux)

   For Linux system, copy the far-a01.f16 fonts into /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
   directory and execute the setfont program <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> &quot;setfont far-a01.f16&quot;.  For
   other systems (e.g. SCO Unix), please refer to the fonts installation
   section of your system administration manuals.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Installation of ASCII screen fonts (DOS)

   After system power on, prior to the first use of Vim, upload the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A>
   fonts by executing the far-a01.com font uploading program.


Usage
Prior to starting Vim, the environment in which Vim can run in <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode,
must be set.  In addition to installation of <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> fonts, following points
refer to some of the system environments, which you may need to set:
Key code <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>, loading graphic card in ASCII screen mode, setting the IO
driver in 8 bit clean mode <A HREF="eval.html#...">...</A> .

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Setting the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> fonts

   +  For Vim <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> set the <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">'guifont'</A> to far-a01.  This is done by entering
      ':set guifont=far-a01' in the Vim <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.

      You can have <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">'guifont'</A> set to far-a01 by Vim during the Vim <A HREF="starting.html#startup">startup</A>
      by appending the ':set guifont=far-a01' into your <A HREF="starting.html#.vimrc">.vimrc</A> file
      (in <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> of NT/95/98 platforms <A HREF="starting.html#_vimrc">_vimrc</A>).

      Under the X Window environment, you can also start Vim with the
      '-fn far-a01' option.

   +  For Vim within a xterm, start a xterm with the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> fonts (e.g.
      kterm <A HREF="gui_x11.html#-fn">-fn</A> far-a01).  Then start Vim inside the kterm.

   +  For Vim under <A HREF="os_dos.html#DOS">DOS</A>, prior to the first usage of Vim, upload the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A>
      fonts by executing the far-a01.com fonts uploading program.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> Keymapping Activation

   To activate the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> keymapping, set either <A HREF="options.html#'altkeymap'">'altkeymap'</A> or <A HREF="options.html#'fkmap'">'fkmap'</A>.
   This is done by entering ':set akm' or ':set fk' in the Vim <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
   You can have <A HREF="options.html#'altkeymap'">'altkeymap'</A> or <A HREF="options.html#'fkmap'">'fkmap'</A> set <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> default by appending ':set akm'
   or ':set fk' in your <A HREF="starting.html#.vimrc">.vimrc</A> file or <A HREF="starting.html#_vimrc">_vimrc</A> in <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> of NT/95/98 platforms.

   To turn off the <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> keymapping <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a default second language keymapping,
   reset the <A HREF="options.html#'altkeymap'">'altkeymap'</A> by entering ':set noakm'.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  right-to-left <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> Mode

   By default Vim starts in Left-to-right mode.  Following are ways to change
   the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> orientation:

   + Start Vim with the <A HREF="starting.html#-F">-F</A> option (e.g. vim <A HREF="starting.html#-F">-F</A> <A HREF="eval.html#...">...</A>).

   + Use the F8 function key to toggle between left-to-right and right-to-left.

   + While in Left-to-right mode, enter 'set rl' in the command line ('rl' is
     the abbreviation for rightleft).

   + Put the 'set rl' line in your '<A HREF="starting.html#.vimrc">.vimrc</A>' file to start Vim in
     right-to-left mode permanently.

Encoding

The <A HREF="print.html#letter">letter</A> encoding used is the Vim extended ISIR-3342 standard with a built
in function to convert between Vim extended ISIR-3342 and ISIR-3342 standard.

For document portability reasons, the <A HREF="print.html#letter">letter</A> encoding is kept the same across
different platforms (i.e. UNIX's, NT/95/98, MS <A HREF="os_dos.html#DOS">DOS</A>, <A HREF="eval.html#...">...</A>).


<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Keyboard

   +  CTRL-_ in insert/replace modes toggles between Farsi(akm)/Latin
      mode <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> follows:

   +  CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text in edit mode.

   +  CTRL-_ in command mode only toggles keyboard <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> between Farsi(akm)/
      Latin.  The <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> text is then entered in reverse insert mode.

   +  F8 - Toggles between left-to-right and right-to-left.

   +  F9 - Toggles the encoding between ISIR-3342 standard and Vim extended
      ISIR-3342 (supported only in right-to-left mode).

   +  Keyboard <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> is based on the Iranian ISIRI-2901 standard.
      Following table shows the keyboard <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> while Farsi(akm) mode set:

Restrictions

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  In insert/replace mode and fkmap (Farsi mode) set, <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-B">CTRL-B</A> is not
   supported.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  If you change the character <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> between Latin/Farsi, the <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> buffer
   will be reset (emptied).  That is, <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> is valid and will function (using
   '<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>') only within the mode you are in.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  While numbers are entered in <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode, the <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> buffer will be reset
   (emptied).  That is, you cannot <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> the last changes (using '<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>') after
   entering numbers.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  While in left-to-right mode and <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode set, <A HREF="undo.html#CTRL-R">CTRL-R</A> is not supported.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  While in right-to-left mode, the search on 'Latin' <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> does not work,
   except if you enter the Latin search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> in reverse.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  In command mode there is no support for entering numbers from left
   to right and also for the sake of flexibility the keymapping logic is
   restricted.

<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>  Under the X Window environment, if you want to run Vim within a xterm
   terminal emulator and <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode set, you need to have an ANSI compatible
   xterm terminal emulator.  This is because the <A HREF="print.html#letter">letter</A> codes above 128 decimal
   have certain meanings in the standard xterm terminal emulator.

   Note: Under X Window environment, Vim <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> works fine in <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode.
	 This eliminates the need of any xterm terminal emulator.


Bugs
While in insert/replace and <A HREF="#Farsi">Farsi</A> mode set, if you repeatedly change the
cursor position (via cursor <A HREF="intro.html#movement">movement</A>) and enter new text and then try to <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>
the last change, the <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> will lag one change behind.  But <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> you continue to
<A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>, you will reach the original line of text.  You can also use <A HREF="undo.html#U">U</A> to <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> all
changes made in the current line.

For more information about the bugs refer to <A HREF="rileft.html#rileft.txt">rileft.txt</A>.
