Looks like this is solved with ibus-m17n. I'll take a look at this later today.

Thank you.

Were you able to figure out how we could add it to Solus? The reason I ask is that otherwise I would have to start learning the available keyboard layout - Bolnagari or Wx. Please advise.

I found the Indic layout, it is labeled Indian.

I'll be looking into ibus-m17n later today/tomorrow. That seems to be where it comes from. I have no idea what layouts it provides.

Raised upstream issue to clarify project status here: https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/issues/2

@baimafeima You don't need to create an upstream issue for everything like this.

Going to have to dig into this some more. It builds fine, but when loaded ibus-daemon logs the following error:

ibus_m17n_engine_callback: assertion 'm17n != NULL' failed

@ikey any thoughts?

Yeah, I limit this to projects I am personally interested in.
