AFAIK, if you use
dir="rtl" attributes, the cursor will automatically move in the way that you described.
At least it works like that with my
test epub.
For example, if you click between Bet (ב) and Resh (ר) in the right-most word (בראשית), and press the right arrow key, the cursor will move to the left, which, IMHO, is the correct direction, if you're assuming the same logic that is applied to LTR text where pressing the right arrow will move the cursor to the next letter. (In Hebrew, the next letter is the letter left of the cursor.)
In MS Word, there's a Cursor movement option that allows users to switch between
logical and
visual cursor movement.
Is that what you want KevinH to implement?
If so, the current behavior would be "logical cursor movement" and what you want is "visual cursor movement."
