Description Yitz Gale 2006-05-29 20:22:44 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

he.keyboard is quite broken. None of
the Unicode codes are correct Hebrew letters,
and even some punctuation is in the wrong
place. No Hebrew letters display on the
keyboard with any font using this file.

I have written a he.keyboard that works.
With any Unicode font that supports Hebrew,
it displays a Hebrew keyboard like the one
in the picture at:

http://ktouch.sourceforge.net/development.php#layouts

That also matches my own keyboard.

The new layout matches all puctuation
properly. It also produces upper-case
Latin letters when you shift, like a
real Hebrew keyboard.

Where should I send the working he.keyboard?

Corrected he.keyboard

AH, I see. OK, here it is.
Comment 2 Diego Iastrubni 2006-07-01 15:11:11 UTC 
I tested this one, and I can confirm it works as expected. 

Is it possible to commit to the branch (and turnk...) and close this one ?

SVN commit 607114 by annma:

fix he keyboard layout
I think however I established with cuco that Hebrew does not work well due to the custom widget for typing the letters not being RTL compliant - It'll be fixed for KDE4.
