Macos – Mac Hebrew/English Uppercase

hebrewmacmacos

On Windows, when I am typing in Hebrew, I can press Shift and a letter and get the English letter typed. This is very usefull as I don't have to change keyboard layouts all the time if I want to write mixed Hebrew/English texts.

On Mac, when I am using the Hebrew keyboard layout, pressing Shift and a letter does not do anything.

Is there any way to get Windows style functionality on the Mac?

I am using Mac OS X Leopard.

7 years late but... I had the same problem and followed the thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/26461374 that helped me. Basically you go to System Preferences-> keyboard-> Input Sources and make sure that on the list of languages on the left you've got "Hebrew - PC" (rather then just "Hebrew"). I had "Hebrew", so I removed it with the minus button (bottom left) and then used the plus button (bottom left) the add the "Hebrew - PC" and that fixed it.
