Re: Arabic keyboard layot ... once again

[heer <heer at u dot washington dot edu>]

	The advantage of shift+S was that it remained S even in Arabic, so 
it could be used for adding a new character to the keyboard.  For example, 
I use it for a dotted Kaf for old Malay (Jawi).  It's nice to have at 
least one unassigned key on the Arabic keyboard.  But making the Linux 
Arabic keyboard exactly the same as the MS keyboard seems like a good 
idea.  Anyone who doesn't like a particular keyboard can always edit the 
keyboard file to suit his own preferences.
