Charles Grebe Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hello, How do I type the Hebrew 'seen' with the Israeli keyboard. The 'sheen' is Shift A but I can't figure out how to type the 'seen'. I'm using Accordance 10.4.2.2 on Windows 7. thanks, Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 On the Mac Unicode keyboard This is option-a. שׁ This is shift-a. שׁ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Grebe Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't have an option key on the PC. Here's what I get with the other keys. SHIFT a = sheen CONTROL a = nothing FN a = seen/sheen with no dot WINDOWS a = seen/sheen with no dot ALT a = nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Grebe Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Gordon. The problem with "alt control 4" or the "windows/characters menu" is they are not accessible when you have the "Select Lexical Forms" dialog box open. It's when I'm doing a word search and press Control L ("Select Lexical Forms") that I'd like to be able to type a 'seen'. As an example, I was trying to type in שׁרף.

Helen Brown Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I didn't know you were on Windows. I tried it now and shift-c gives me a seen in the Enter Lexical Forms. It seems to be a bug that this dialog is not using the Israeli keyboard, even when that is set in Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Grebe Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Enter Lexical Forms does use the Israeli keyboard for the other letters. It seems that it's just missing the 'seen'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yes, I think you are correct, but if you enter the unpointed seen with simple "a" stroke, it works in this dialog as a seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Grebe Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 The problem with typing a 'seen' with just the "a" stroke is the word list on the left doesn't update after the "a" stroke. Compare typing שרף vs שׁמר, for example, and observe the word list. It's nice when the word list updates to you can pick between the different homonyms etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
