The hebrew keymap is built into vim. That vimrc file only enables it
(assuming hebrew support is compiled in. It is compiled in for most
current linux distros)
Inever had problems with this mapping.
But an alternative way is to use a hebrew console keymap. Ithink you can
find one linked from the faq, and if not, loook in the kernel mirror
near-by, and download the kbd package from there. The latest version (that
was released on 31.12.2000, IIRC) should have the correct mapping. Older
versions had an incorrect map, and thus consoledata/consoletools had an
incorrect map)
You can hold the right alt for using the alternate map, or press right
ctrl+alt to switch to that map (after you have set it).
