i use the hindi inscript keyboard, it is quite simple, even with the host of characters in the devnagari script, of all the keyboards it is the best designed. If a person is a regulatr hindi speaker / user it makes sense to type in hindi rather than the english to hindi work around. Keyboard stickers are available and its easy to stick on (not so nice on the smaller laptop keys). In case any one needs i can send them a pdf of the inscript keyboard which would aid in learning and is also useful to have in case one forgets where some of the strange characters are ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
