Re: [m17n-list] Help needed to modify mim file

[Fahim Khan]

Hi,

Yes, I want to change the sequence to get the same result. So currently if I type  "अ"+"र्"+"ज" then I got अर्ज  but I want it to be like "अ"+"ज"+"र्" to get अर्ज, as it is the correct way for remington.

I am using ibus as input method. I am just wondering how the character sequence is decided. Can we just change it through mim file ?

Thanks for clearing the variable concept. I can try condition based _expression_.

Regards,

Fahim

As I don't any of speak/write Indic languages, this may be my
misunderstanding, but...
What you want is to type XYZ and get a character sequence XZY which is
rendered as XYZ, right?

Anyway, which input method are you going to modify, and which
key-sequence you have to type to get the character sequence you want?

A variable always has a value, you can not clear/unset value.  But, you
can define the meaning of special value (e.g. 0) as "unset".  For
instance, you can use "IF" action as this:

  (= CODE 0
     ((set CODE 1) ...do_something...)
     ((set CODE 0) ...do_something...))

It toggles the value of CODE betwee 1 and o, and perform different
actions depending on the value.  If you want to initialize a variable
each time when the processing reaches to a specific branch, this will
do:

 (branchname
   (t (set CODE 0))
   (...)
   ...)

Sorry for the poor documentation.  Any suggestions of improvement are
welcome.
