(input-method ta vutam)

(description "Vutam Type_As_You_Write is suitable for 3 basket mechanical type writers.
Meant for those who know to write Tamil.
Had the Unicode encoding scheme followed that of TSCII, Vutam can run even in unintelligent keyboards with atleast three baskets.
The intelligent SCIM supports many baskets; the third basket is selected in it, by pressing any Alt. key & a Normal key together.
Basket one Normal: Short vowels & Consonants.
Basket two Shift: Long vowels & consonants with \"u\" vowel mark.
Basket three Alt.: Tamil abbreviations, Numerals & consonants with \"U\" vowel mark. (H & Alt. h may also be used to get u & U vowel mark hooks.)
SCIM's frontend globalsetup trigger may be configured, not to include Alt. grave, since Alt. `  has to produce ` in our layout.
Hence the name: VUTAM.
The vowel marks: \"ai\", \"e\" and  \"E\"  to be typed before the consonants, as in writing Tamil.
Hence the name: Type_As_You_Write.
Key allocation scheme: (1). No logic: \ & q  (2). Script similarity: w & f  (3). Convention: z,x & b(big)  & (4). Phonetic similarity: Rest.
