Engravings...display engine.... What?

I was talking about the engravings on the plastic keycaps on the keyboard
("Hacharita al gabey hamakashim"). It has no $&#$^#$ display engine (yet).

Now imagine how "intuitive" it would be for the display to present
        '('
While the keycap on the keyboard is marked (on the plastic) with:
        ')'

Indeed :-)

Now that people started reversing keys, I can only extrapolate...
        - Let's map F1 <-> F12, F2 <-> F11, (RTL Function-key order)
        - Let's change '/' into '\' (RTL pathnames are great)
        - Let's change '+' into '-' (my brain has melted)

Seriously, let's keep one simple principle:
        A key produce the character painted on its keycap.
