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"
