What it does
OpenBangla Keyboard is a Bangla input method for GNU/Linux with phonetic and fixed layouts, suggestions and editable autocorrection.
OpenBangla Keyboard offers Avro Phonetic and fixed Bangla layouts on GNU/Linux. Suggestions work with fixed layouts too; selecting a candidate lets the keyboard remember it for later entry. The layout viewer helps locate keys, and editable autocorrection gives recurring substitutions a setting of their own. Check desktop integration as part of setup: the project’s build documentation lists IBus and links a separate desktop-configuration guide. The keyboard’s language features do not remove that input-method prerequisite.
