NOT on RTL-LTR case. Show me one good RTL-LTR editor
based on Text widget. Heck, show me one good RTL-LTR widget at
all.

I dare you. Show me how you write a RTL-LTR text on a non
RTL-LTR widget; or just show me good RTL-LTR widget.
OR, show me a good Text widget. There isn't even ONE decent
Text Widget, let alone LTR-RTL. Show me a Text widget with
kerning, I will make it RTL-LTR. You know what, maybe kerning
is too much to ask for. Show me a Text Widget with Auto-Hypen.

I don't want emacs. I hate emacs. I love vi, but I don't need a
hebrew vi. I NEED, NOW, WordPad. Pronto. I can't even
write a decent letter to the Bank!!!
