New keyboard driver (beta)

Ken,
Before I go to the link, here's what I found in Encyclopedia Judaica, 16,
1449:
1 qames (qamets)
2 pattah (pattach)
3 cherek "a squeak"
4 tseri (from Arabic "splitting (of lips)"
5 chelem "wholeness"
6 sherek (shuruq)
7 shewa
8 hataf pattah (chataf pattach)
9 hataf segol
10 hataf qames (chataf qamets)
11 dagesh
The bit in parentheses is added to indicate dot under s, h.  Nos. 3-5 are
given in Hebrew in the Encyclopedia, and I'm sure chelem would be cholem if
they had written it in English.  Number 6 is my bone of contention with you.
  They have sherek(with kuf) in pointed Hebrew, then shuruk latger on in
English.  Number 7 is the two vertical dots indicating vowellessness.  What
do you call it?
Now to the link
Andy
P.S. I have no trouble with the shortcut keys.  I'm not a crusader.  My big
problem is with Times-Roman Hebrew that doesn't allow cholem without vav.

Ken,
Just checked Even-Shoshan, Milon; and you are, of course, right,  Here's
what they have (in Hebrew) Vol IV, 1728:
a vowel:        kamats gadol     pattach            chataf pattach
e vowel:       tsere                segol                chataf segol
i  vowel        chirik gadol        chirik katan
o vowel        cholam             kamats katan     chataf kamats
u vowel        shuruk             kubbuts
Chirk gadol is with following yod, katan without.  Shuruk is a dagesh inside
of a vav.  Kubbuts is the backslash key, as you said.

Ken,
Change shurek to kubbuts, kubbuts to shewa and the three: chataf kamets,
chataf pattach and chataf segol.  Shurek is dagesh inside of vav.

Ken,
Correct "shurek" to "kubbuts", "qubuts" to shewa, and CTRL-1, CTRL-2 and
CTRL-3 to chattaf chametx, chattaf pattach and chataf segol.  When you get
your shortcut keyboard established tell me how it works.  I admit hitting
ALT + 1 to ge kamets is a lttle bit of cross handing (left pinky on ALT,
right forefinger on 1).
