6.6 Hebrew

As with all languages, most of the Hebrew letters are placed on the key whose English letter corresponds most closely. When there are two letters (or letter forms) that are similar to one English letter, one of them will be obtained by holding down Shift. In particular, the ‘final’ versions of Kaf, Mem, Nun etc. are obtained with the Shift key.

Vowel marks (niqqud)

Vowel marks (niqqud)—which are not always used in written Hebrew—may be obtained using the vowel keys and ‘w’. Roughly speaking, a short vowel mark is obtained by pressing the vowel key on its own; long vowels are obtained with Shift; and ‘interrupted’ (hataf) vowels with Alt. For full details see the table below.

Other marks

The ‘dagesh’ is obtained from the ‘C’ key. The ‘sin dot’ and ‘shin dot’ are obtained with ‘Alt+S’ and ‘Shift+Alt+S’ respectively.
