The keyboard for english/europran users is usually a

english/european qwerty-k however I need a keyboard
inputer extension/plugin with your core wordprocessor
software that changes the qwerty-k to english/european
qwerty- क (where only 1 english/european
alphabet K has been removed from your
menu/help/faqs/dictionary etc and what has been put is
the sanskrit devanagri alphabet that has html decimal
code or 0915 unicode glyph -

the new sound shape)
Secondly, I need you to package a new font that will
be used for wordprocessing and thus the user will use
क / 0915 alphabet.
All this with one click install that can be from disk
or a one session download and thus any average novice
user can immediately use your software.
Please tell me this is possible.
Please understand that this is an open source project. The people who
write LyX do so in their spare time, and, while we certainly want LyX to
be as useful as it can be to as many people as possible, we have limited
time. If you'd like to get LyX working with Sanskrit, people will be
happy to help you. But please do not expect any of us to give up our
free time because you "need" us to do something for you.
That said, the keyboard issues should be fairly straightforward. You
just need to define a keymap and then use it. See the .kmap files in
e.g. /usr/share/lyx/kbd for some examples. There's documentation about
this in section 4.3 of the Customization manual.
Regarding fonts, LyX just uses system fonts for display and LaTeX fonts
for output, so no, there's nothing we can do there, though I'm sure
people would be happy to offer advice about finding appropriate fonts.
