What you cannot easily do with Keyman is visual order input - E.g. short i before consonant, repha ra after consonant. Moreover, it is tricly to implement the deletion of the <danda>: when the user hits backspace near <0917> the keyboard script should rather add <094D, 200D>. Finally, there is no way to simulate placing the cursor between the <half ga> and the <danda> glyphs. I think that the way to go is translating the whole text in a gyph encoding (when loading/pasting it) and then back to Unicode (when saving/cutting it). I am implementing a small demo of such a behaviour but, unluckily, the developments for the bloody euro switchover is keeping me to buisy to finish it right now. _ Marco
