I tried to work with DescribedTaskRenderer that i set to RTL and it looks like.
and i understand that DescribedTaskRenderer not support RTL as it say in the code
the question is how i can make it work with RTL (what should i change in the code). and i dont need it to work in LTR mode just in RTL (i don't care if in the LTR it show bad)
thks for your help

I've been trying out APL. I'm running Windows 10 and I've installed Dyalog 18.0, and the APL Language and APL Backtick Symbols extentions for VS Code.
But even though I'm not running any of these programs, sometimes suddenly my keyboard is hyjacked! All my ctrl commands are replaced by APL symbols.
E.g. ctrl-Z (undo) becomes ⊂ and ctrl-A (select all) becomes ⍺. I have no idea why and how to disable this again. This makes it very hard to do my work!!!
I've been googling for this, but haven't found an answer so far. I've looked at the Windows keyboard settings, but it looks normal. The locale settings are also correct.
I'm now just de-installing everything, but that way I need to reinstall every time I want to try out APL.
Can somebody tell me what is happening and how to fix it? (And tell me who to complain to that this is a very hostile feature)
I am sorry that our Unicode IME is causing you confusion.
I do like using it, but there are some Windows settings which I set to make things easier.
Start button->Settings
In the "Find a setting" edit field, type Advanced keyboard settings
Click on the icon with that text on it
Under Switching input methods:
Tick the “Let me set a different input method for each app window”
Tick the "Use the desktop language bar when it's available". This option will show the orange D icon when our Dyalog Unicode IME is active.
On this same dialog, there is a Input language hot keys.
I find it convenient to select a hot key combination to activate our Unicode IME, and another one to go back to the default Windows keyboard layout.
Close this dialog with the X button in the top right.
If you have further problems or questions, you can always ask us at support#dyalog.com
By the way, we put links to advice pages about keyboards on our website under Resources->Fonts and Keyboards.

When installing the standard Dyalog IME, there is a new keyboard input method on Windows. Have you checked WinKey+Space? This should cycle through available keyboard layouts and you should find your previous/default layout available there.
I personally agree that this is not a good way to handle keyboarding and causes many issues for newcomers to APL. Dyalog is aware and are looking into alternatives that can be comfortable for both new and existing users.
You can uninstall the standard IME without uninstalling the entire interpreter by running the Dyalog uninstaller (search "uninstall Dyalog" in your start menu) and selecting just the IME.
For now, I recommend the APL Wiki article on Typing Glyphs for some ideas for alternatives to the standard IME: https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Typing_glyphs#Windows
I personally use the abrudz keyboard with Alt Gr as the switching key.
I just wanted to add that your complaint has reached the people who need to be complained to. This is a difficult problem space, between changing technologies, multiple platforms, new or casual users of APL and the folks who use APL all the time and want to type APL symbols into e-mail messages, etc. It is most definitely time for an overhaul of the keyboard technologies that we use and this will be on the to do list for the next development cycle. Until then, I hope you manage to get by with the advice that has been offered so far!
Thanks for the shout,

I'm new to OpenModelica. I'm an experienced programmer (C++ and Octave) and I tried to use OMShell but it is quite hard to me, because I find that it gives very little feedback when errors are produced. So I switched to the GUI version (OMEdit). I can't find an auto-indentation feature, i.e. I would like to select all or part of the code and have the editor to reformat the code for me, like the TAB key en Emacs. Is there something like that?
TIA, Mario
No, OMEdit doesn't have any auto formatter.
Adeel.
As an RTL developer, I find it annoying that my favorite text editors (Notepad++, Sublime, VS Code) don't have autoformat options for RTL languages like Verilog and VHDL. So I took it upon myself to create one.
I want to develop an auto-format extension for one of those editors. I dropped Notepad++ because it doesn't have native support for Linux and macOS.
So, the question is: how to get started in developing an auto-format extension for a language for Sublime and VS Code?
Notes:
I don't intend to develop an extension for both editors but I'd want to see which would be more feasible.
With Verilog being closer to C syntax, it might be easier to start there (and I also prefer it over VHDL, but let's not get into religious discussions)
I know that Emacs and Sigasi editors provide auto-format options for RTL languages but their format options are strict and I don't like the outcome, hence I intend to make the formatting style configurable
I ran into this work https://github.com/thomasrussellmurphy/istyle-verilog-formatter it might be useful to build on it if possible

In my opinion, I would prefer coding RTL languages in VS code because it's more versatile than sublime text as in free beer and speech. I would highly recommend beginning from here https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/example-hello-world.
Oh, you also need to know Typescript / Javascript to write an extension.

I am excited to see the port of this to VS Code/ Sublime Text. I am sorry I don't know how to work on from C++ to TypeScript. My guess would be to copy the implementation method and write in TypeScript.
From their website :
Prerequisites:
You need Node.js installed and available in your $PATH. Node.js includes npm, the Node.js Package Manager, which will be used to install the extension generator.
I am pretty excited to see auto formatting extensions for Verilog. I hope i can contribute too :)
Edit :
I found this https://github.com/g2384/VHDLFormatter written in TypeScript. The transition to VSCode/Sublime would be easier than the above in C++. I have tested it personally and it works awesome! Hope it helps :)
Some Background here:
I've downloaded this example and made it run on my Ubuntu. Everything's fine. I put my own OpenType font into the project and it works fine too! I made sure that HarfBuzz supports my font and my language.Now I need to go further.
I need some guide here:
In the above example,three kinds of language each has it's own font to support the display. I mean,these three languages is rendered separately(as to my understanding of the code).
So, how to make HarfBuzz to select the correct font when many kinds of language are mixed together and render them at once? I mean,without making a font file that supports all languages in the world.
In this example,Chinese script is vertically displayed(which is just as I want),but if I make the Latin script's text_directions to HB_DIRECTION_TTB,which is of course not what I want. I want the whole word 'LATIN' to rotated 90 degree.
So, how can I achieve that? how to make that happen without breaking anything about Chinese layout?
3 .Last but not least,after solving the above problems, I want to make a Text Editor to display and edit many languages at the same time,same place. I don't know if I have to do some work on HarfBuzz or FreeType or implement a text editor that supports this complex text layout? Is there any example that I can refer to ?
Thanks in advance for help.
HarfBuzz is doing shaping just on same script and directionality, you should first split your text, guess or find language and direction of that chunk (using ICU or smt else) then send it to a shaper. Generally on Linux for finding right installed font for a script, you can use fontconfig.
I do not know, I suggest making separate question for that.
Making a text editor starting from shaper is not easy task. You should do bidi, line wrapping and ... that all have their challenges. I suggest use higher level abstraction (pango). For instance browsers doing a lot to support these.
I've been searching for a way to do this. I use a slightly modified Colemak keyboard layout and I can't figure out how to add it as a supported input method in the new language selection in Windows 8. The installer that the Colemak guys distribute sort of works; you can choose the layout after installing it, but it forces the EN-us language, and can't be chosen for other languages.
If anyone knows how to do this properly, I'm sure the Colemak guys would appreciate hearing about it, and it would let me make the modifications I want to.
I don't know if this is the exact issue but there is a problem with MSKLC-generated layouts in Win8 (DP&CP).
You can choose the language if you make your custom keyboard layout with MSKLC: in the "Properties" part, or, if it does not work (though I'm sure it does), you can edit the .klc file manually.
Build it and setup with the executable. You are done.
