Although I implemented "./", I now think it's not a good key
in these two reasons:

  (1) It is better to keep "/" for the future extention for
      the prefix for misc symbols as I wrote before.
  (2) The sequence "./" is not associated with the action
      "commit the current preedit area as is and shift to
      the initial state."
  (3) It is better to avoid overloading too many meanings for "."

How often is it used?  How about "Shift-Return"?

Now "Shift-SPACE" is mapped to \u200C (and "Control-@" is to
\u200D).  Do we need another key?  And, isnt't it better to
avoid using "." and "/" for the same reason?

Ok except for the last ".".  ".." now inserts "।", not "।.".

Do you think it is natual to type the key "." (which is
associated with NUKTA) before the base consonant?  Isn't it
better to find some other postfix key?  For instance, now
"]" is mapped to NUKTA.  How about mapping "k]" to "क़्"?
