| Nov 12, 2015 at 18:51 | comment | added | BrianWilson | Apparently my question to the vim_dev was not worthy as it has not posted. However, with more study, I have discovered that my version of vim was compiled with arabic and farsi enabled. How do I work with someone to develop a +thai option? | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 17:03 | comment | added | BrianWilson | What ever the rules are, they have already been written and are incorporated into all the major OSes such that most programs are able to tap into them. Unfortunately, I do not know what these rules are called, so that I do not know how to refer to them. // I have taken your advice, @romainl and have written the vim_dev mailing list. Currently waiting for the email to post. Thank you for getting me started in vim. | |

| Nov 12, 2015 at 15:02 | comment | added | BrianWilson | Line breaks are another issue. These languages space at the phrasal level and the spaces have meaning. So the trailing space or absence of a trailing space at the end of the line has meaning when breaking and joining lines. For purpose of example, the spaces are similar to an oxford comma and other punctuation and is the difference of whether or not we had Grandma for breakfast. (Let's eat Grandma. vs Let's eat, Grandma.) | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 14:54 | comment | added | BrianWilson | Not sure what you mean. I typed English, Thai and Lao in the chrome address bar and then used alternate arrow on my mac and I was able to navigate at the word level in all three of these languages. The programs that I have mentioned are tapping into work that has already been done at some lower level. If vim could tap into the same work, then someone could edit a mutli-language document without having to do anything fancy. 'w' would just scroll happily from one word to the next regardless of the language. | |
