Thanks, but Emacs still does not get this quite right. For example,
in the following line:
אבגדה12345
Which mixes Hebrew letters with digits, M-f stops at the first digit,
whereas in this line:
abcde12345
it does not. The latter behavior is correct, the former is not. (I'm
ashamed to admit that even MS Word gets it right.)
I understand that the way for fixing this would be to install more
entries in word-combining-categories, but more infrastructure seems to
be missing, since right now no characters have the "Hebrew" category,
for example (at least judging by the output of describe-categories).
By the way, I'd suggest to move the legend generated by
describe-categories to the beginning of the buffer, because the buffer
is huge and it does not say anywhere at the beginning that there's a
legend at the end. Without the legend, the buffer looks like a large
pile of gibberish.
And another wish: can we have word-combining-categories and
word-separating-categories display their elements with human-readable
letters, not as their ASCII codes? (Quick: what letter is code 94?)
