The Hebrew keyboard layout for PowerBook

computers

This layout is similar to the standard Hebrew keyboard except that
you type numbers from the top row as if they were typed from the
keypad. It is recommended for use with Apple PowerBook
computers, which do not have a numeric keypad integrated into
the keyboard.

The Hebrew-QWERTY transliterated keyboard

layout

This keyboard layout phonetically maps the Hebrew characters to
a standard QWERTY (English) keyboard layout.

Pressing the Shift, Option, or Option+Shift keys provides the
Hebrew characters for different consonants and vowels, as shown
in the following illustrations.

Normal

Shift

Press Shift to obtain final (sofit) consonants and long vowels.

Option
