Hello Mahyar,
Five years ago you posted about adding support for right-to-left languages
to nano [1]. Today I happened to stumble over a relevant item in the TODO
list. After some googling, I found that there exists a terminal (mlterm)
that supports RTL text. [2] It seems to work, although it is weird to see
the cursor move rightward when typing the left arrow...
My question is: is this usable? I mean: can one comfortably edit an RTL
text using nano on mlterm? Or is it awkward, confusing, troublesome?
Regards,
Benno

From here I got some of the sample text:
