All those who said +1 on using their own mother tongue, how do you
handle shortcuts?
Some uniformity need to be brought in. with English letter shortcuts
at one place and mother tongue letters at some other.
I found Hindi using all English.
Myself and Santhosh shared this in common.
How come? With xkb as layout, shouldn't a user switch to English and
then type the shortcut key, while doing some task with a Hindi
Desktop?
Do you mean you are using the 'setxkb' command to set your keyboard?
Most of us using the bn_IN locale have switched onto using iiimf/scim
long time ago (probably since FC4) and do not find any difficulty while
using the shortcuts with Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift. Neither do we have to
switch to the english layout while still using the bn keyboards.
The choice to move to english shortcuts was made primarily to tackle the
problem of inconsistency in key assignment, duplication (in which case
neither shortcut on the same level work) and problems with menu items
comprising all conjuncts (in which case, a minimum of 4 keys come into
the picture).
Secondly, at the time we had also tested various permutations and
combinations using input methods, bn and en shortcuts and found that one
particular set of shortcuts (i do not remember correctly at the moment
which ones) did not work at all if the shortcuts were in bn. I'll try
and dig this bit out if possible.
