I work with a language keyboard developer. When you set Vista for Arabic
(101), on US keyboards the Arabic left parentheses is on the 9 key and the
right parentheses is on the zero key. In WordPad, Notepad, and all other
applications, they are reversed. There are other problem keys:

Anyone have a solution so that the ( ) characters all work on the same
keys regardless of the application when typing in Arabic?

I don't know what Vista has to do with it, but when typing in Arabic
in Word (in a Unicode font), the parentheses work exactly as one would
intuit they would -- the opening (right) parenthesis is on the
Shift-0, and the close (left) parenthesis is on the Shift-9. What do
you see as the problem?
