Keyboard Layouts
IndoWeb supports 3 different keyboard layouts.
1. DOE Phoenetic : This layout is standardized by the Department Of
Electronics(DOE), Govt Of India. The advantage of this layout is that the
layout remains identical for all Indian Languages. For example,
the key 'k' is used to represent the letter 'ka' in all Indian Languages.
2. Typewriter Layout : This layout is useful for people familiar with typing
in Indian Languages.
3. Romanised Layout : Without knowing the above layouts, you can type in
Indian languages easily by using the Romanised layout. Phoenetic English
mappings are used to enter the Indian Language Text. For example, the keys
raamaa (or rAmA) can be used to type 'Rama'.
The Keyboard Layout and the Key Sequence Windows from the Help menu can be
used to find the correct key combinations.
