Ok, EPM is another issue, maybe even a matter of taste one could enable/disable in the preferences. But first we should get this into svn. José? Dov's patch has my OK.
Great. Next (but the patch shouldn't wait for this!), we have to look into lyx2lyx for converting old files. I have no idea how lyx2lyx works, if anyone can give me pointers that would help. Like, do I have access to a buffer, similarly to the way it works when I'm working in the real document from with the LyX code? What we're going to have to do is find all occurrences of <RTL text><space, regardless of the language><LTR text> and vice versa, and make sure that the space's language is the same direction as that of the paragraph. How would I go about this?
Another thing, you saw the getPosVisually method in the rtl_spaces patch? I think it's what we need to implement visual movement, no? It takes care to correctly update the bidi tables and calculates relative visual positions.
Yes, regarding visual mode cursor movement, I'm starting a new thread...
