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.
Best regards,
Ramachandra
