Why is this hebrew keyboard layout different from how I type into bible works?

[ralphza]

Looking on google images I see a lot of layouts like this



But that is different from my one.

When I type into bible works 7

I type left square bracket for Ayin

For me, C produces a Tzaddik

For me, J produces a Tet

For me, X produces a Het

That's different from the layouts I see on google.

Greetings

Here is my take:
Keep in mind BibleWorks is older, much older than Google and their Hebrew keyboard was first implemented before most English versions of MS Windows were able to handle Hebrew. Back then every program have there own truetype Hebrew fonts and keyboard lateouts. It, was durning that time that BibleWords implemented an easy way for students of the Bible to type in Hebrew, who were not nessiarly familiar with the israeli keyboard. Now, days of course most use the israel keyboard when typing in Hebrew.


Now here is advice I have given in the past:

By default the command line keyboard changes to match the current search version.
Also, the Hebrew/Greek keyboards used by Bibleworks are mapped the the standard US English key board.
So, be careful about changing the keyboards because not every keyboard has all the functions or characters that BW uses.
(but, now there are code insertion buttons so you do not need to worry about my warning.)

Here is what I think you can do:

In very old versions of Bibleworks (version before version 8)

1. Click open Keyboard Layout Dialog
2. Select "Automatically"
3. Chose the XXX Language (not the XXX language Layout)
4. exit
5. select WTT as you search version

In BibleWorks 8 and later (even version 10)

1. Select tools
2. click on Options
3. Click open Flags
4. Under Flags Click Command Line Configuration Options
5. Check off the use Israeli Keyboard on the command line option.

Hi. As far as I'm concerned, a large number of companies make keyboards of very low quality these days. It seems to me that this is done in order to make keyboards to fail quickly and have to buy a new one, thus increasing the profit of the manufacturing company. But I have a little tip that will allow any keyboard to last much longer. All you have to do is use a laptop keyboard cover. With its help, your keyboard will not only be almost impossible to scratch, but it will not enter the dust, so it will last you many times longer.

Oh, I see your point. There are many firms nowadays which has their own arranging ways. SO, it is quite easy to understand.
