It defaults to use the public domain Unicode Bangladesh (Bijoy) layout, but it comes with a keyboard layout editor, so you can use whichever layout you like. Changing between recently used Keyboard Layouts - point and click 12

To make matters even easier, Ekushey 2.2 installs with the popular layouts already defined. Each keyboard is stored in its own layout file, and can be loaded into Ekushey on demand. To change layouts, just point and click a list of keyboards that you have previously used, If your layout does not come with a definition file ready made, the powerful keyboard layout editor (below) is as easy as drop and drag and offers a lot of flexibility. Reassigning Shift+I - easy to use, intuitive interface style 8.

Microsoft Word is equipped with VBA, a powerful programming language for writing macros (stored commands resident within the program), and 13

also allows users to set up key bindings. Ekushey binds each key to a macro so that every keystroke you make is intercepted and instead of just typing a letter, it runs a short VBA macro instead. If you are typing in an English font, it does not alter what you typed, if you are typing in Bengali, it adjusts what you typed, according to your choice of font and keyboard layout. When you press 'join', it examines the previous characters, deletes them and works out the correct conjunct to type instead. 1.4.1 Can I see the source code to Ekushey? Yes. You cannot see it when running Ekushey normally however. Just find the Word template file 'ekush22c.dot', copy it to a folder outside of its location in the MS-Word start up folder and double click on it. To enter the VBA editor, press ALT+F11. In the VBA editor, press CTRL+R to see the project explorer. Then click on the project 'Ekushey'. Where is the keyboard layout stored? The active keyboard is stored in the windows registry. The keyboard layout editor comes with a facility to import/export this to file, allowing you to easily switch between layouts, or to quickly apply a layout you have created to a lot of machines. Ekushey stores the Bengali layout in files with the extension '.21B', while Ekushey English layout files have a '.21E' extension. These are in an easily understood text form, so if you are careful with spelling, and remember that they are case sensitive, you can even edit them by hand if you prefer. What is "Transliteration"? Transliteration is converting a word from the English alphabet to the Bengali alphabet, or vice versa. This is useful, for example, to produce a phoneticisized version of Bengali text, for non-bengali speakers, or to send as a simple text E-mail. 2.6.1 Is the transliteration customisable? Yes. Advanced users may wish to change the transliteration mapping file ("phonetic.21m") and create their own mapping. Remember to choose the mappings carefully if you wish to ensure that when you reconvert from English to Bangla the translation is unambiguous. 14
