It would be really good to fix the Arabic keymap, at least the ﻻ and the
position of ِ and ٍ that are different from Windows. It would be also good to
make two other groups so that with AltGr and AltGr + Shift we can type
persian letters and extra characters like the "dagger" alif and alif al wasl.
