:set arabic, like :set nocompatible, :behave mswin, :vimdiff, :source
vimrc_example.vim, and some others, sets a well-defined set of
options. Any of them can be overridden by adding the appropriate
counteracting instructions immediately afterwards. For instance, I
have an owncoded Arabic keymap which I prefer to the one set by the
'arabic' option so I set it immediately after setting 'arabic'. If you
prefer to use your own native X11 keyboard (and possibly set 'langmap'
to define ASCII characters as a function of Arabic-Farsi ones) you can
set 'keymap' to the empty string, and possibly also 'langmap' as
desired, as follows:
• maybe, in the vimrc
:set langmap=someting
• when starting to edit in Farsi
:new ~/path/to/some/filename.ext
:setlocal arabic
:setlocal keymap=


Best regards,
Tony.
