linux issue - it shows the english characters before changing them into tamil #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

I tried this software in Ubuntu 9.04.

I am able to type using this. But I find when I type a character, it first
prints the english character typed, then changes it to tamil. This happens
very slowly. 

Because of this, i am not able to type faster.

Keyboard used: tamil99

We are looking into this issue. As of now, we are inserting a
backspace to get rid of the English characters which becomes visible
on slower machines. The ideal approach would be to somehow mask the
English characters from appearing on the screen (i.e. Turn off
keyboard echo). This has to be done at the X Window level or similar.
Any suggestions/pointers would be much appreciated.

Its not about slow machines. It happens in all the machines (mine is 2GB RAM 
laptop
with intel core 2 duo). Basically this software is unusable in linux (tested in 
ubuntu).

Pls take this up on priority.

Abhinav and others,
As Mugunth points out our product is a pain to use on Linux. Please take this 
up with
highest priority.

I do not know how you hಅve implemented this in Linux.
why don't you use the 'xmodmap' method to ಅccomplish this?

This link tಅlks ಅbout how to mಅp keys to unicode (towಅrds the end)

however, trಅnsliterಅtion would be ಅ chಅllಅnge.

also, you don't need superuser privileges to run xmodmap...
