No! shift-9 contains engraving (on the plastic) of *left parenthesis*
Under your interpretation it would produce a right parenthesis in
hebrew..... This is completely insane!
Reversing keys for convenience should be done *personally* (e.g: via
xmodmap) and not globally in the XServer code base. To give you some
concrete examples:
* Caps-lock / Ctrl keys
- Many users hate keyboards where caps-lock is located where CTRL
"should be"
- Luckily, nobody thought "fixing" it in the XServer code
- Either you use a "correct" keyboard
- Or you xmodmap you preferences away
* Backspace / Delete
- Ditto
Please, Please, Please, stop this nonsense while you still can!!!
The keyboard layout should never (by default) missrepresent the
graphic engraving on the keys.
