Thanks :-)
I also published in Cocoa-dev, but that too isn't the right list.

I confirmed that we don't have an internationalization mailing list per se. The suggestion was to ask this question on the Carbon-dev list. Looking at the lists.apple.com list, there is also a CoreText list, which may also provide some help.
Some additional information about this feature I was able to gather. I wasn't able to find anything out about right or left facing dots. I did find out about the split-cursor when the cursor is at the boundary of text with different directions. This is handled by the text systems within Mac OS X, and does not have anything specifically to do with the keyboard. (I don't have much more information than that, I'm passing along the info I received).
I'd try one of the two lists above.

I'm not sure if this is the right list for this question, please be patient :-)
Mac OS X v10.5 has this feature that when RTL keyboard layouts are selected, the I-beam cursor adds a 'direction indicator' that tells the user to which direction the cursor would move – left or right.
For example, if you switch to Arabic or Hebrew keyboard layout, the I-beam cursor adds two right-facing dots near the top of the beam, indicating that the cursor would move right. If you switch back to English, the dots are added left-facing.
My question is this:
How do I tell Mac to turn-on this feature on a custom keyboard layout that I developed?
So, when the user switches to my keyboard layout, the cursor would start indicating the direction, as the Arabic and Hebrew layouts.
Thanks,
-S.
