NAME

       iok- Indic Onscreen Keyboard

SYNOPSIS

       iok [-a] [-h] [-d 1] [-n LANGCODE]

DESCRIPTION

           Indic Onscreen Keyboard currently shows Inscript and Inscript2 keymaps for 22 official
       Indian languages. The languages are  Assamese,  Bengali,  Bodo,  Dogri,  Gujarati,  Hindi,
       Kannada, Kokani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit,
       Santali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu.
           The iok application runs in default and advanced mode. In default mode, iok starts  by
       loading  Inscript2  keymap  of the current locale. If keymap is not installed or available
       then iok shows keymap list in the default mode. User  can  then  select  any  keymap  from
       keymap list if he want to write using it.
            In  the advanced mode, iok allows one to open non-supported keymaps. If keymap can be
       parsed by iok then it will be showed in iok UI otherwise it will show error  message  that
       iok  can't  load  this  keymap.  Advanced  mode also allows one to create custom keymap by
       either swapping or re-assigning character mappings in the existing loaded keymap in iok.
            Another feature iok supports is Drag and Drop. This will allow user to swap character
       mappings using mouse.
            The  keymap  list  shows Inscript and Inscript2 keymaps from location /usr/share/m17n
       and ~/.m17n.d path.

       To start iok in normal mode from console, use following command iok

       To start iok in advanced mode from console, use following command iok -a

       To start iok in any supported Inscript2 keymap (say in Marathi) use following command  iok
       -n mr

       As  Inscript2  keymap naming also uses language script code for some languages, command to
       open those keymaps is like this iok -n pa-guru where pa is a isocode name for the  Punjabi
       language and guru is a language script code name in which keymap is written.

       To  use Drag and Drop feature of iok, start iok from console as iok -d 1 The Draft version
       of Inscript2 keymaps are available at https://fedorahosted.org/inscript2/

       This project is available at http://fedorahosted.org/iok/ or http://iok.sourceforge.net

OPTIONS

       -a     It shows the menus and combo box in iok UI

       -h     It show the help

       -d 1   This will enable Drag  and  Drop  feature  only  for  the  single  iok  invocation.
              Otherwise iok has disabled Drag and Drop by default.

       -n LANGCODE
              In the place of LANGCODE,you need to specify a particular language code.  Shows iok
              UI for that particular language. This will also  requires  language  script   code.
              e.g.  for  Bodo,  Dogri,  Kokani,  Nepali, Sindhi use its langcode and "-deva" as a
              language script code.

              To start iok using Kokani keymap, run "iok -n kok-deva"
