Descrizione

In termux the bidi functionality seems to depend on which font is chosen from the termux style. for example when selecting gnu free font Hebrew is displayed right-to-left (although with bugs when typing or editing it), while when chosing default font or inconsolata font bidi is disabled and the text is displayed ltr.

The bidi support in any terminal is not perfect and sometime it is desirable to simply disable it. some of the linux consoles like Konsol and gnome terminal allow the user to choose whether to enable or disable bidi support, is that possible to be done in termux as well?

I think it would be useful to be able to completely disable bidi in termux because that thing never behaves in a predictable way and especially when editing and inserting text I find it easier to just work ltr.
