I don't think so.  I think the Emacs translates a character regardless
of which key produced it.  Take a look at leim/quail/hebrew.el: all it
tells Emacs is the characters to translate.  There's no information
there regarding the layout of the keyboard.

Perhaps Handa-san could tell if this is true.

Yes, testing would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
