After viewing the code, it seems as if there is no simple fix for it.

What cause the issue

The issue is that this feature (#944) is done as a hack, which causes the unwanted behavior.

It defines the final versions of letters the same way capital letters are defined.

What is a final letter?

For context: final letters are used only in end of words, unlike capital letters, which have a lot of use cases, and most notably capital first letter of a sentence.

possible fix

In order to fix the issue with the autocorrect, we will need to make it language dependent. From my quick look, it will require refactoring some code.

My suggestion

I suggest reverting the merge as it breaks the layout. In Hebrew, we are already used to the final letters being separate keys and not a shifted version, especially since most letters don't have one. The behavior introduced in the merge is unexpected and causes an unwanted behavior consistently, requiring the user to disable autocorrect globally.

If the feature is something anyone still wants, they can reopen the merge request and fix this issue, making sure it does not break the layout.

PRs welcome. I don't speak Hebrews, so I'll re-open should someone want to work on this.

Gotcha, I'll revert that PR then now.
