(input-method kn optitransv2)

(description "Kannada input method by the OPTITRANS
transliteration system. 

0. A major deviation from other transliteration systems like ITRANS and HK
is that latin consonants are mapped to the correpsonding devanAgarI consonant *followed by the 
vowel a*. For example, k maps to ಕ, not ಕ್.

1. panchama-varNa-s of vyanjana-varga-s 
  nnk->ಙ್ಕ, nnkh->ಙ್ಖ, nng->ಙ್ಗ, nngh->ಙ್ಘ
  nnch->ಞ್ಚ, nnCh->ಞ್ಛ, nnc->ಞ್ಚ, nnC->ಞ್ಛ,

2. Any common consonant, typed twice, yields that consonant with the virAma. So, nn yields ನ್. The rationale is that a repeated consonant such as ನನ and ದದ is far less common than the consonants with a virAma, such as ನ್ and ದ್.

3. The rare character sequences that conflict with shortcuts for more frequently occuring strings can be typed using the "commit key" - (Ctrl + Shift  + Enter), or with the use of the arrow key. 
For example, sh yields ಶ. But if one wanted to type ಸಹ, one can type: s<Commit key>h or s<left arrow, right arrow>h.

Examples:
- Avoiding unnecessary 'a'-s.
  - kml or kamala - ಕಮಲ 
- Typing vyanjana-s with a virAma
  - sikkt - ಸಿಕ್ತ
  - sik;t - ಸಿಕ್ತ
- Shortcut for typing panchama-s/ anunAsika-s of vargIya-vyanjana-s
  - shankara or shnnkr- ಶಙ್ಕರ।
  - snncit - ಸಞ್ಚಿತ
  - shann karoti - ಶಙ್ ಕರೋತಿ।
- Overriding shortcuts
  - pashyann  karoti - ಪಶ್ಯನ್ ಕರೋತಿ। (Note two spaces here. Avoids ಪಶ್ಯಙ್ ಕರೋತಿ )
  - s<Commit key>h or s<left arrow, right arrow>h or sah or saha - ಸಹ (Avoids ಶ)


The motivation behind additions made to the basic ITRANS scheme
is described in https://sites.google.com/site/sanskritcode/optitrans,
along with a tabulated comparison with several other
transliteration schemes.

Note: You can use many symbols defined in lsymbol.mim.

Also, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari_transliteration.")
