Hi.
When my keyboard is on Hebrew mode, when I press the shift key and English letter its should transfer to capital English letter as a shortcut- instead of changing the keyboard to English mode and Hebrew again. But it's just do nothing.
How can I change that?
Thanks.

To learn what input sources are available for Hebrew, go to system preferences > keyboard > input sources and press the + button and go to Hebrew.
If you want one where you get English via the shift key instead of via caps lock, then choose the one called "Hebrew PC" and remove whatever you have now.

Are you talking about problems typing English letters? Or problems typing keyboard shortcuts?
Normally with the Hebrew keyboard you press caps lock to get English letters (small), and the shift to get capitals. Press caps lock again to go back to Hebrew. Is that not working for you?
Hi.
The caps lock and then shift is working. on windows I know that there is an option of just pressing shift to move from Hebrew to capital letter in English- as long as you keep pressing on the shift key.
i'm new with the Mac so maybe there isn't an option?
and I don't know about the input sources.
thank you for your help.
