Re: [m17n-list] [M17N] Request to add Bengali Jatiyo keyboard layout support

[Pavel Sayekat]

Thanks a lot Handa :), I have a question that when a key in English used to represent four (4) alternate keys in Bengali as it is in Jatiya Layout, how can I map that, like "x" key has its normal key alternate, shift alternate and "alt" alternate and shift+alt alternate, how to map that?

It's not difficult to create such kind of an input method.  I prepared a
template MIM file.  Please  modify it as this:

1. In the "discription" section, current text is for Probhat layout.
Please change it for Jatiya layout.

2. In the "trans" section, current mapping is for Probhat too.  Please
change the mapping for Jatiya.

3. Save the file as ~/.m17n.d/bn-jatiya.mim.

4. Restart the input method engine (you may have to logout and login
again for that), and check if bn-jatiya is available.

5. If it doesn't work, please send me the modified bn-jatiya.mim.  I'll
check it.  If it does work, please send me it anyway.  I'll commit it to
the repository.
