C-b, M-b don't work with arabic input method

[tareefdev]

Hi @a13

I use 'arabic' for ''reverse-im-input-methods' in my '.emacs' file as following:

(require 'reverse-im)
(add-to-list 'reverse-im-input-methods "arabic")
(reverse-im-mode t)

Everything works fine except for C-b (backward-char) and M-b (backward-word) I got these messages:
C-لا is undefined
M-لا is undefined

'لا' in Arabic correspond to 'b' in English. I use GNU Emacs 25.3.1

@tareefdev Hey! I've pushed a commit which allows you to show the translation for the selected input method, no you can check the remapping yourself.

And yes, there are no translation for "b" letter, it looks like this happens because in arabic.el.gz file the mapping for "b" is not a single char, but a vector of strings. I'm investigating if it's possible to fix that.

@tareefdev I've pushed a possible solution to "arabic" branch, could you please check if it works for you? If no - please post here the value of the reverse-im--keymaps-alist variable

[tareefdev]

Hey Hey, I'm glad to see some progress here. I cloned the repo, switched to the arabic branch, restarted my Emacs, but unfortunately nothing changed.

Here is the value of that variable:

reverse-im--keymaps-alist is a variable defined in ‘reverse-im.el’.
Its value is shown below.

Alist of pairs input-method/translation keymap.
