Shan Keyboard

Hello again,

User:Ninjastrikers asked me whether I can make a keyboard for Shan, and gave the SIL keyboard as an example.

The unshifted and shifted modes of that keyboard are mostly easy to make, although the signs ေ and ႄ will have to be typed after the consonant and not before it.

However, the Alt and Shift-Alt modes are quite hard. Our keyboard infrastructure doesn't really handle the Alt key well. Can you think of another mode to place these letters and signs? For example, instead of signs like !@#$%^&? Or something else?

If the Alt and Shift-Alt modes are difficult, you can only do the unshifted and shifted modes. We can type simple Shan text with unshifted and shifted modes. The Alt and Shift-Alt modes are designed for typing Shan Pali script. It is rarely used by ordinary people.
