Proposal: Add Khipro as an Additional Phonetic Scheme

Open qomarhsn opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Following up on the point made in Issue #82:

"Once again, if anyone wants to include alternative/improved phonetic schemes in Avro Keyboard we can consider that too. Avro Phonetic doesn't have to be the only supported phonetic method in the tool and there is always room for more."

I’d like to propose including Khipro as an additional phonetic layout in Avro Keyboard.

Khipro is a shift-less, lowercase-only, phonetic and fixed mixed-style Bengali input method optimized for typing speed and predictability. It is currently maintained using the m17n library and is available here: 🔗 https://github.com/rank-coder/khipro-m17n

Khipro is awesome, I've been using it for quite sometime now. It'd be great if it's added. Jazakallahu khair @qomarhsn

Khipro is just mind-blowing. I've been using it since I started using Linux. I'm eagerly waiting for the Khipro layout to be available on the Avro keyboard, so that we can use it on Windows too.

Jazakallah Khair, Vai.

@mominul from OpenBangla suggested this too. We have bunch of urgent issues to fix for the next release, I'll explore this after the that. Thanks for the suggestion!
