If you need to use two + non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools -> + Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left + language support"). + We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future, + which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps.
