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 to open non-supported keymaps. If keymap can be parsed by iok then it will be showed in iok UI other-
       wise it will show error message that iok can't load this keymap. Advanced mode also allows 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"

KBDMAP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 KBDMAP(1)

NAME

     kbdmap, vidfont -- front end for syscons and vt

SYNOPSIS

     kbdmap [-K] [-V] [-d | -default] [-h | -help] [-l | -lang language] [-p | -print] [-r | -restore] [-s | -show] [-v | -verbose]

DESCRIPTION

     The kbdmap utility allows easy setting of available keymaps.  The vidfont command allows the setting of fonts.  Both examine a database for
     the keymaps and fonts.  Descriptions are in English by default, but may also be in other languages.  These programs are interactive and
     expect to run in a terminal to get required input (e.g., a keymap selection) from the user.

     It is strongly recommended to not choose MSDOS codepage keymaps or fonts.	Use the ISO standard version if available!  X11 does not support
     MSDOS codepage.

     The following options are available:

     -K      Run as command kbdmap.

     -V      Run as command vidfont.

     -d, -default
	     Use default language.  Ignore LANG environment variable.

     -h, -help
	     Print options and exit.

     -l, -lang language
	     Use language for description and menu.

     -p, -print
	     Print description of available keymaps or fonts to stdout and exit.

     -r, -restore
	     Load default font from /etc/rc.conf.

     -s, -show
	     Show currently supported languages and exit.

     -v, -verbose
	     More warnings.
