Urdu and Arabic users migrating from InPage to Adobe InDesign face a major usability issue with RTL cursor navigation.
Currently, in RTL text:
- Right Arrow moves cursor visually left
- Left Arrow moves cursor visually right
While technically correct under Unicode bidi logic, this behavior is unintuitive for many professional Urdu newspaper designers who are accustomed to InPage-style visual cursor navigation.
Request:
Please add an optional preference:
"Visual RTL Cursor Navigation"
so users can choose:
1. Logical movement (current behavior)
2. Visual movement (InPage-style)
This would greatly improve Urdu, Arabic, and Persian publishing workflows.
