> You need to define a Third Level Chooser in Keyboard layout options,
in order to type vowels.

Thanks. I defined Right Alt for this and it works.

The bug report is still relevant, though.

1. Niqqud support must be on *by default*. It's on by default on
Windows, and AFAIK, on Mac, too.

I had no idea about this thing called "Third Level Chooser". And even
after Ilya told me about its existence, i couldn't find it in KDE at
all, and it took me a few minutes more to find it in Gnome. No user
should go through that.

2. I couldn't find a way to make it work with CapsLock, like in Windows
and Mac. All in all, using Right Alt for this makes more sense than
using CapsLock, but it should be documented somewhere.

3. The layout is not exactly the same as on Windows. The common vowels
appear on the same keys, but the Rafe and the Meteg characters appear
elsewhere.

Now - i'm not happy at all about writing "like Windows" all the time. A
Windows compatibility mode won't hurt, but it would be even better to do
it as defined by SII - Standards Institute of Israel. I am trying to
contact SII to get the spec.
