Finally I can post in Hebrew on websites (specifically on The Reading Moose). Until some time ago I used Netscape 4.7x as my browser, until it was rumored that Mozilla has Bidi support for logical Hebrew (most Hebrew sites are visual Hebrew, which is the only thing supported in NS 4.7x), I've installed Mozilla from CVS and got myself a nice Bidi capable browser. Only problem was that is was slow as hell.

Enter galeon.

I've installed Galeon the other day and got myself a Bidi capable browser that runs at a decent speed, as a bonus I got tabbed browsing which is great.

The last step involved a short research into the xkb mysteries and finding the tricks that are needed to get it to use an Hebrew keyboard mapping, and now I can post in Hebrew!

This replaces a hackish script I wrote in Python to post a text file to the website.

One problem though, to install Galeon I needed to upgrade to Gnome 1.4, I now have problems with PowerShell, it's terminals get locked! Anyone knows a cure?
