The standard Hebrew layout
The Hebrew layout is based on the traditional typewriter arrangement. The home row reads ש ד ג כ ע י ח ל ך ף, the top row ק ר א ט ו ן ם פ with / and ' on Q and W, and the bottom row ז ס ב ה נ מ צ ת ץ. The five final-form letters ם ן ץ ף ך sit next to their base letters or on the punctuation keys. The bracket keys are reversed (] on the left, [ on the right) to suit right-to-left text, and ; takes the top-left key. Keyboards are ANSI-shaped and dual-printed.
Testing a Hebrew keyboard
Key order on the virtual keyboard stays left-to-right to match the physical board, although the page reads right-to-left. Press every key; each lights up by physical position, so it works in Hebrew or English input mode. The record bar shows the real Hebrew letter you typed. Pay attention to the final-form letters on the punctuation keys, which are easy to skip.
Why does my keyboard type Latin letters?
The system is in English mode; toggle with Alt+Shift or Win+Space. The hardware is fine, and each key still lights up correctly here. For a keyboard without Hebrew legends, this page doubles as a positional reference.
