Hebrew Keyboard Layout Reference

The standard Hebrew keyboard, at a glance

When you switch your operating system to Hebrew, every physical key produces a different letter than its Latin legend. This interactive reference shows the standard Israeli (SI-1452) layout so you can find any letter quickly and preview exactly what your keystrokes will type.

How it works

The Hebrew layout is a fixed mapping from physical keys to Hebrew letters. The reference renders three keyboard rows, each key showing the Hebrew glyph and the Latin QWERTY key that triggers it. Hovering a key reveals the letter’s name.

The live preview uses the same mapping in reverse-of-mistake: when you type Latin characters, it substitutes the Hebrew letter each key would emit under the Hebrew layout. This is handy when you have typed a whole sentence with the wrong input language and want to recover the intended Hebrew.

Example and tips

• The home row asdf maps to שדגכ (Shin, Dalet, Gimel, Kaf).
• Final letters live on i o l ; . — keep these in mind when a word ends.
• The t key is Alef א and h is Yud י, the two most common letters, so they are easy to reach.
