I just did a little experiment with gedit and it actually handles trope
and vowels on the same consonants. Like the following:
זָקֵף־קָט֔ן group
גֵ֜רֶשׁ & רְבִיעִ֗י groups
סֶגוֹל֒ group
Interestingly, this must be built into the gnome text widget, because
Evolution handles it brilliantly as well. Mozilla still does it wrong;
not quite so badly as it use to, but still wrong.
