Right-to-Left Languages Support?

[Fargo]

iTerm2 has a good multilingual features, but it misses the support of one large group of languages, which are those known as right-to-left (RTL) languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, Urdu and others.

The native macOS' Terminal app supports these languages, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.

iTerm2 correctly renders the RTL characters and does text shaping, but it lacks text mirroring. So, it is half a way there! macOS has native support for RTL languages and many mac apps support them by default. I think iTerm2 only needs some settings adjustment in its source code to support RTL as well.

Thank you

It is something I'm interested in supporting, but my focus in the short run has been on performance improvements. After I'm done with that, which I hope will be soon, I'll take a look at this.

I'd like to second this request. iTerm2 is my Mac terminal emulator of choice, and I'm starting work on programming for Hebrew speaking customers, where the lack of right-to-left mirroring is causing some confusion.
