Thanks for your inputs! \-- I now have the tamil-dvorak.el written as a quail package, and have it working with GNU Emacs 24.5.1. The source is at: https://github.com/shakthimaan/cask-dot-emacs/blob/master/lib/tamil-dvorak.el I have re-mapped and added few special characters which are not in the original layout, and use C-x RET C-\ to select the keyboard layout. Keying in native Tamil characters, and also using GNU Emacs buffer commands is a pleasure now. Regards, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com
