Host terminal limitations

The following limitations appear with both system keyboard layout English and the Arabic 101 keyboard:
  • The dot (.) and slash (/) characters in the keypad area of the keyboard are not displayed correctly when using an English keyboard layout and an Arabic language layer.
  • The Arabic character Tatweel using an English keyboard and an Arabic language layer is typed as the ZAL character. You can use the shift+J combination to type the ZAL character.
These limitations disappear with the Arabic 102 keyboard.

When using an Arabic 102 keyboard, the following keyboard limitations appear:

  • Shift+s to type the letter S will result in nothing typed
  • Shift+j to type the letter J will result in Arabic character Tatweel
  • Shift+l to type the letter L will result in a backslash (\)

In order to correctly display any of these characters, you will need to switch the keyboard layer to English.
