vim w/ ubuntu and hebrew
When real guru’s say to use vim please listen to them and simply use it. Vim comes from vi editor which is 32 years old program. You can call vim it’s child cause it’s younger but much more powerful.
For some weird reason ubuntu decided to use striped-down version of vim (package: vim-tiny) which comes by default install. Problem with vim-tiny is it’s weak and not powerful as real vim. However you can install it by “sudo apt-get install vim“. After that copy default vimrc file from /etc/vim to your home directory with the name .vimrc
cp /etc/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
After that edit it and turn syntax on (more info). Here is little example of my editor: 
If you want to read/write Hebrew perhaps you should read wikipedia which says to use “:set rightleft” and “:set norightleft” (or short :set lr,:set nolr). It also says it don’t support BiDi very well for it’s simplicity, but this way writing hebrew is better that lot of IDEs that i know. Better than my favorite komodo edit.
I remember at beginning when i saw Vim and when i started to read man pages i decided to stay with nano. I used nano for few years but today, no way that I’m returning to nano/pico after vim.
