A custom phonetic mapping file (for compatible IMEs) If you want to remap keys (e.g., ksh → क्ष, tra → त्र), I can generate a .txt mapping table you could import if the IME supports custom rules (rare for MS Indic IME). Example:

k᳚s᳚h क्ष t᳚r᳚a त्र g᳚y ज्ञ Sh श (most useful) I can develop a printable one-page PDF summary of how to type special Hindi characters using Hindi Indic IME 1.5 v5.1 (the standard Microsoft transliteration scheme):

| You type | You get | Note | |----------|---------|------| | k | क | | | kh | ख | | | Sh | श | capital S | | ksh | क्ष | conjunct | | tra | त्र | conjunct | | gyn / gy | ज्ञ | | | R | ऋ | capital R | | Rh | ॠ | | | M | ं | anusvaar | | H | ः | visarga | | a | अ | implicit vowel | | aa / A | आ | | | ee / I | ई | | | u | उ | | | uu / U | ऊ | | | e | ए | | | ai | ऐ | | | o | ओ | | | au | औ | | | ch | च | | | chh | छ | | | ~n | ञ | tilde+n | | .n | ण | period+n | | .t | ट | period+t | | .th | ठ | | | .d | ड | | | .dh | ढ | | | x | क्ष | alternate | (custom piece) I can write a simple HTML/JS app that mimics the transliteration logic of Hindi Indic IME 1.5 v5.1 — so you can test key mappings in a browser.
