I don't understand. The correct shortcut name is "Ctrl+Tab" I see this 
in the English and the Arabic shortcuts.lyx file. Where do you see 
"Control-⇥"? What is your LyX version?

LyX is a community project. For years we had Hebrew people who helped to 
get RTL working with LyX and LaTeX. Later an Iranain guy helped and 
eventually he and the Hebrew people implemented support for Arabic because.
2 years ago Hatim joined LyX by translating some doc files and reporting 
bugs and testing fixes. For the upcoming LyX 2.3 (alpha 1 will be 
released in a few days) we could improve the RTL support and can now 
provide support for Urdu. Nevertheless we need help from people like you 
- who can read Arabic and has background info. So I hereby invite you to 
join the LyX team and work on the Arabic support. If you want to help 
and therefore need more info how to contribute, please tell me.

In general I don't think that the missing language support for the info 
inset is a big problem. It is only used in the English doc files and in 
shortcuts.lyx. But of course this should be fixed. So i
