Dear all,
Sometimes back Dr. Nagarjun was asking about difference between Bolnagari and My keyboard driver.
Please Note These are the differences :
============== Bol-nagari ============== Bolnagari is keyboard layout created by Indlinux team. it supports only phonetic XKb keyboard layout by using compose key feature supported by Operating system. They are just adding the kmaps to the system rest is done by operating system.
=================== My keyboard driver =================== 1. This is program written in C using Xlib library. 2. It can supports ITRANS, INSCRIPT, PHONETIC, TYPEWRITER and any Custom Keyboard layout. 3. Not only for Indian languages but also European and Chinese ,Korean, Japanese language Input. 4. It supports all kinds of right to left scripts which are in Unicode range. 5. I have full control over the keyboard.
Currently it supports Only Unicode devanagari itrans input. Works perfect on OpenOffice and Koffice.
Similarity : It works at system level similar to Bolnagari but have some problems which can be eliminated.
Future releases will include : 1. On fly selection of keyboard layout. 2. Display of possible key combinations for keypress.
It is not available for Download. those who need it can send me mail at sacindia1@rediffmail.com
