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 swap-
       ping 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
