Macro prompt and extract bidirectional options

When editing a macro prompt (or extract) in the Visual Macro Editor or the host terminal, you can define the host screen orientation to use for the prompt (or extract) during macro playback at runtime. Options are Inherit from host screen capture, LTR, and RTL. Selecting Inherit from host screen capture uses the same screen orientation value defined for the host screen associated with the macro prompt (or extract). If no host screen is associated, this option is not available, and you must specify either LTR or RTL.

If a pre-HATS V8.0 macro is copied into a HATS V9.6 project, or if a pre-HATS V8.0 project is migrated to HATS V9.6, then if a host screen is associated with the macro prompt (or extract), the Inherit from host screen capture option is used. Otherwise, the default value of LTR is used.

For Hebrew VT bidirectional logical sessions, there are two cursor direction radio buttons (Left to right and Right to left) which provide control over input control orientation for prompt action while recording a macro. In the editor for the VT connection, click BIDI display options to display the radio buttons.

The default input control orientation is the LTR direction which implies that the prompt value is in LTR implicit format.
