Right, but still not the same

Ok, the issue is with say C-c that will give C-hebrew-char with the KDE
hebrew keyboard.

However there is another issue I just found out.

If I start to write hebrew the way you described it via the input
method, then the cursor is at the left part of the buffer and does not
move while the hebrew letters are written. 




However when I use the functions I described earlier 
(defun my-turn-bidi-on ()
  "Just start with  to R2L."
  (interactive)
  (setq  bidi-paragraph-direction 'right-to-left)
  (message "R2L on!"))

Then the cursor jumps to the right and behaves in a visual way as I
expect it to behave.
As a matter of fact this is the way I would like to write hebrew and not
via the input method.
