The 'S' label does not mean "press upper-case S", it says that this
key will produce an upper-case S when used with Shift, and "some
hebrew char" when used without Shift.

I think this is the convention with every input method that shows the
keyboard layout.  E.g., try greek-postfix.

I wonder what can we say in the introductory text before the layout,
to make this point clear.
