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.
