Fwd: Keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+C CTRL+V) don't work when keyboard is set to Hebrew

[Walter Lapchynski]

I have a suspicion as to what the problem might be. Can you send a
picture of your keyboard?

Also it would be nice to have the output of `setxkbmap -query -verbose 10`.

It also might be good to have the same thing if you do `setxkbmap
-option "us,il" && setxkbmap -query -verbose 10`. After you do that,
make sure you run your startup file again.
