Bidirectional (bidi) text support in neovim.

bidi.nvim aims to be a simple, easy-to-configure, and lightweight plugin which adds a bidirectional display mode to neovim on a per-buffer basis. Currently, this is in early development. I recommend using rosetta.nvim in the meantime.

• Neovim
• GNU FriBidi
• A terminal/GUI with bidi capabilities disabled
• (A good font for multi-lingual typing is Cousine)

I plan to work extensively on bidi.nvim this summer, but feel free to suggest features or mention concerns before then.

• Ability to use exclusively in rightleft mode
• Dynamic padding for RTL paragraphs
• GNU FriBidi piping
• Bidi-Mode toggleability
• Bidi-Mode statusline option
• Switch to revins automatically
• Manually choose base direction
• Extensive testing
• Paste in properly in Bidi-Mode
• Save files only in logical mode

There is an init.lua in /test. It can also be used as a MWE for interior bugs.
