Hi all,
Further research revealed the problem, and here is a working patch. I would like to both draw your attention to the reasons, and point out one thing in this patch that requires attention.
And I tried your patch Shachar and there some interesting results...
Here is my setxkbmap line to change between hebrew and english: setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll il
This lets me switch from english to hebrew...
Then I tried the wine's internal wine's notepad to do a test: LANG=he_IL wine notepad at first the keyboard switch doesn't behave well (you got capital english letters and only after few times you get hebrew) I can type hebrew no problem all..
However, with programs like Word, excel etc.. - the problem persists - keyboard switching doesn't impress the application and even when you switch - you're in english mode...
Have you tried some apps with this? if so, which ones?
Thanks, Hetz
