Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages
use right alt+ shift+e for ऐ and right alt+ shift+o for औ, i.e. you have to switch to level 3 (R alt+ is the default for doing so, you can change it to any other key combination as well by going to keyboard preferenceslayoutsoptions) more help here http://indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/BolNagri -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages
Thanks Rajiv. That was one big hindrance I was finding with BolNagri. Simple things sometimes look so complicated. :) Regards, Surender On 07/04/2011 08:18 PM, Rajiv Ranjan wrote: use right alt+ shift+e for ऐ and right alt+ shift+o for औ, i.e. you have to switch to level 3 (R alt+ is the default for doing so, you can change it to any other key combination as well by going to keyboard preferenceslayoutsoptions) more help here http://indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/BolNagri -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I setup scim and am able to write in Kannada with transliteration in gedit Would appreciate any inputs on this. Copy pasted from a mail on the list from a few days back (subject line hindi fonts in Ubuntu) To enable typing in your language of choice go to System - Preferences -Keyboard The go to LAYOUTS - Add In Add you will be able to choose Country (India) and Variant (as in which specific indian language you need and which type of keyboard) For Inscript Hindi (keyboard layout attached) choose india or other hindi variants choose what ever you like. You can also print the Keyboard Layout for the menu option on the bottom left. Once this is done go back and then go to layout options - here you can select a combination of keys that moves between your default language layout (i presume us english) and the other language(s) you may be added. On my latop the right menu key is for hindi and the left windows button is for english - so it just becomes another few keys to use as part of my typing routine आसान naa. This will work system wide and one can even use it to make user names / passwords, folders, files, type in every conceivable software (i think) in your language of choice. Further you can right click on your desktop tool bar and add keyboard layout short cut to the panel. (in recent Ubuntu versions in appears once you select more than one layout) -- Ram _ http://www.munsiari.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I setup scim and am able to write in Kannada with transliteration in gedit Would appreciate any inputs on this. In scim, you can configure additional languages support and specific layouts (inscript, various phonetic layouts) for each language. A good reference to this would be wikipedia article on scim[1]. If you can setup xkeyboard [2], you do not need to depend on scim/ibus for inputting if your preference is inscript. By selecting your language duing install time (from 11.04 for 10 indian languages), xkeyboard is setup automatically. Hope the above helps Arjun [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scim [2] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config Thanks and regards, Ramachandra On 06/23/2011 12:36 PM, Ramnarayan.K wrote: On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 12:16 PM, Vividh Aditya vividhadi...@netscape.net wrote: While, we are on the topic of Indic Fonts, is there any text editor similar to Takhti (for Windows), where I can write in Hindi with Unicode fonts like Mangal and Raghu.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages
I installed some keyboard layouts and would prefer India Hindi Bolnagri, which is very similar to Takhti. Found it easy. Yet I cannot get to write for example Ainak/aidee or Aurat/aukhlee The keyboard layout shows E and O, assigned, but only allow to put the maatra rather than the akshar itself. Any help would be useful.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages
Thanks for all the help. For now, I figured the convenient way of typing Kannada in transliteration anywhere in the system (which is my preference) Just giving a gist here :: 1. Setup SCIM 2. Installed Kannada, Hindi and many other languages 3. Under IMEngine - Global Setup, Selected a hot key Ctrl F11 for *Kannada - iTrans* 4. Selected a hot key Ctrl F10 for English - en-ispell 5. Selected a hot key Ctrl F12 for *Hindi - iTrans* Now, To enable SCIM input method, I press Ctrl Space. If pressed again, SCIM is disabled and the keyboard input method defaults to IBus To enable Kannada within SCIM, I press Ctrl F11 and *whatever I type is trans-literated to Kannada*. To enable Hindi within SCIM mode, I press Ctrl F12. *Whatever I type is now trans-literated to Hindi* To enable English withing SCIM, I press Ctrl F10 Similarly, I could type in numerous other languages by mapping hot-keys for those languages To disable SCIM and enable the default iBus input method, I need to press Ctrl Space Thanks again for your help.
