Research direction

The payload names no files, tests or entry points, so start by finding where the Arabic key layout is defined in the Kotlin Android keyboard code. Then compare it with a reference Gboard Arabic layout to pin down which keys move. Done means the layout matches a specific, agreed reference, which the issue does not yet define, so confirm the target with a maintainer first.

Feature description

Aeabic languge letters follow differnet scheme that gboard

Why do you want this feature?

I currently switched from gboard as a lot of people will do but the arrangements of the arabic letters makes it uncomfortable to use and needs learning curve. Would be better if it can follow the same layout as gboard to be easy migration thank you
