Hmmm... this is only for math, right? Aren't math formulas always written in LtR order (or more correctly, in the same order that we Latins do it), also within Hebrew/Arabic documents? I am a bit apprehensive about this, because math thinking is very visual. There, left is left and right is right, like on a blackboard (all gifted mathematicians have a "mental blackboard" on which they also play chess etc.) You may notice also that the idxLeft/idxRight functions are bound to the leftarrow/rightarrow cursor keys, which we earlier agreed (IIRC) were hardwired to physical left and right motion. - Martin
