I should point out that the document is somewhat out of date, as we are
quickly approaching a keyboard layout that:

1. Will be standard
and
2. Will have all of the keys that lyx has.

Having said that, it will not have LRE/RLE/PDF (nor LRO and RLO, for
that matter). This is not an accidental omission. These keys change the
appearance of the paragraph they are typed into so violently that even
people very versed in the UBA tend to lose the spot the corresponding
PDF should go.
