What makes you think that I think they are the same? :-) Btw, according to
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout "<" and ">" are placed in the 
same order on separate keys on Arabic as American keyboards. As you noted the 
placements differs so isn't it most natural to look at what the keys show?

Because Hebrew keyboard using LTR work now reversed? Does anyone use this?

I see it was your proposal, but there was not really support with one reply 
even quoting your keys reversed. Your sole argument seems to be consistency
of "Shift" usage with window switching for "on single key"-keyboard users.

On the other side you ignore both what the keys symbol shows and the placement 
of the two keys on keyboards where they are seperated (except Hebrew one).

Bye,
