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!

i just found a nice feature in Unity (new to me at least): press and
hold the special key for a semi-transparent overview of keyboard
shortcuts, great for jogging the memory.
such a transparency of the hebrew (and arabic) keyboard would help me
learn to type in hebrew, as i have only english
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]
(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)
