On the new spec:

TPAC 2025:
> support for Bidirectional(presence of both ltr and rtl) text: Selection and cursor navigation – where should we start?
Rakesh
We dont have github issue or proposal for bidirectional support. Still in ideation phase
Concept of proposal - today a common practice for people to use LTR and RTL text in same sentence in same world. 
In chromium based browsers, in selection part, it has both combination. We want to improve UX to support such combinations
We plan to have  a proposal, don’t have much as of now. Just wanted to pitch the idea
Johannes
We already spoke about making new spec, not much about directions
Caret movement in general is oe of things, close to selection but not the same
There are other questions - editor inside editor does it go around it ? should go in editing spec
Given another issue about caret movement all should go into new spec - with a specific section
We solved it 10 years ago - caret wouldn’t go certain places. It was less of a need. But a spec would be good with new browsers coming along. 
Are you proposing a new spec, can we have another section with carent move around svgs, images and other problematic elements
Rakesh
Would be good idea
Johannes
Need a name for spec. - Caret movement spec
Smaug
Sounds reasonable
Rakesh:
Sounds good
Johannes
Resolution - have new spec “Caret movement”. Rakesh will be the editor. I can share more issues around the caret movement. Looking forward for some proposals
