What is iok
============

iok is Indic Onscreen Keyboard. It currently shows Inscript keymaps for following Indian languages.Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Punjabi, Oriya, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu.

Using drop down menu you can select any of above supported Indian language. Drop down menu listing depends on available inscript keymaps at location /usr/share/m17n/. You can then start directly clicking on keys appearing in iok graphical interface. It will not only show you keyvalues(characters) for English keys on your QWERTY keyboard from selected inscript keymap but also allows you to send those characters to currently active window.

Currently, there is no Indic Onscreen Keyboard is available that will parse mim keymaps and allow to type in Indian languages. This application is using inscript maps installed in /usr/share/m17n directory. If no inscript maps found in /usr/share/m17n then this application will work as English on screen keyboard. Iok also supports default keymap loading based on current locale and its inscript map availability in /usr/share/m17n.

Other functionality this application provides is customization of system installed inscript map. User can swap 2 English key values and also can reassign some other new character to existing key in keypair (Key,Value) from existing inscript map and write new keymaps which can be used after restarting application. New feature has been added to iok that will graphically swap 2 English key values in a inscript keymap by just dragging first key button over second button.

Users can now use their own favourite keymaps other than inscript provided those keymaps MUST be written for single English key to character pair.

iok is hosted at following locations
   http://iok.sourceforge.net and
   https://fedorahosted.org/iok

 This is additional to swap dialog. This DragNDrop will

Parag.
