Re: hebrew (or arabic) transparency to call up when i forget key location?
never occurred to me that it might be built-in: the menu that lets me select layouts also includes a layout map! perhaps not quite as convenient as a hot key, but perhaps that's better, as it will encourage me to memorize the keyboard. thanks for the tip!

Have you tried to see what happens when your layout is set to Hebrew/Arabic, if the feature is to help you know where the keys are then it should show in those languages when the keyboard is set to that layout. Though it may also be meant as a touch-screen feature allowing for easy super+[key] combinations where super is the only key on the touchscreen device, in which case it will only show English.

(Either way, ubuntu unity, gnome3 and most other DEs feature onscreen keyboards that can be set to any layout, so you can use those as your onscreen map) 2012/12/31 E.S.
