This has nothing to do with which keyboard layout is selected. The direction indicator appears when you have right-to-left text.

Also, which application are you seeing this direction indicator in? Mac OS X uses a split cursor to indicate a direction boundary.

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right list for this question, but I couldn't
find where else to ask, I hope it's ok.


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.
