<p>After googeling around I found 2 relevant results -</p>
<p>The first is this post &#8211; <a href="http://hellomacworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/hebrew-keyboard-layout.html" target="_blank">http://hellomacworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/hebrew-keyboard-layout.html</a><br />
By a guy who created a keyboard layout for the mac where shift+&lt;key&gt; prints out an English Capital letter (like everywhere else but OSX, I never understood this choice by Apple)</p>
<p>The second is an application called <a href="http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&amp;id=ukelele" target="_blank">Ukelele</a> that is a really good keyboard layout editing software for Macs.</p>
<p>I then created a keyboard layout that combines both needs -<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>When CapsLock is off, The layout is Hebrew, and with shift+&lt;key&gt; you get English Capitals (Changed only the letters, everything else is like the Hebrew layout)</p>
<p>When CapsLock on &#8211; The layout is the standard English US layout.</p>
<p>All other Modifier keys layouts, like command+&lt;key&gt;, option+&lt;key&gt; etc. are like in the Hebrew layout (for Nikud for example).</p>
<p>You can Download the layout from here (OS X 10.2 and up) &#8211; <a title="Heb-Eng layout for Mac OSX 10.2+" href="http://tombigel.com/layout/Heb-Eng.zip">Heb-Eng.zip</a></p>
<p><strong>To use it:</strong></p>
<p>1. Extract the .zip to /Users/[your user name]/Library/Keyboard Layouts.<br />
2. Log off and back on (else the layout won&#8217;t work)<br />
3. Go to International in System Preferences and select the &#8220;Heb/Eng&#8221; Layout (It has a half US half Israel flag icon)<br />
4. Thats it, Switch to the layout and use CapsLock to switch languages, when the light if off you are in Hebrew mode, when on in English mode.</p>
<p><em>* One drawback &#8211; In non-native apps (like Firefox) the cursor direction will always be the hebrew cursor &#8211; pointing to the left.</em></p>
