Dear Madhav,
I have been using the Heidelberg Input Solution for many years, and attach
my description below.
All my best,
Antonia
For actually typing Sanskrit (in देवनागरी or ṭṛāñśḷīteratioṅ), you then go
to Keyman to download the Heidelberg Input Solution:
https://keyman.com/keyboards/heidelberginputsolution
You install it, and if it gives you a choice of ‘keyboards’, install
Devanagari and Transliteration. In the menu that should open then, there is
a field called ‘shortcuts’: I recommend defining one for each keyboard
(mine are CTRL+D for devanāgarī, and CTRL+T for transliteration; repeat to
deactivate).
You type exactly the same to get the letter in either output: depending on
which keyboard you have activated, typing `s either gives you ś or श्. If
you need any letter that in transliteration has a dot underneath, just type
full stop/period plus that letter: ṭ ḍ ḥ ṃ etc. You type exactly the same,
but with your devanāgarī keyboard activated, to get ट् ड् ः ं etc.
A complete overview of all characters is here:
