Previously, when using the Devanagari script keymap -- hi-remington.mim -- the key combination to produce "आप" (the respectful form of the second person pronoun) on qwerty keyboards was "Shift-h backspace w [ backspace". The widely used sequence for this pronoun, however, is "Shift-h k w [ k" (with "k" used rather than the backspace). With this update the more common key sequence is now used by the hi-remington.mim keymap file. (BZ#653782)

The Malayalam script keymap -- ml-inscript.mim -- was missing the 20th letter, ച (ca). This is mapped to the semi-colon (;) on qwerty keyboards. Previously, when the Malayalam input system was active, pressing that key (either physically or using the on-screen keyboard) produced no output. The on-screen keyboard also displayed a blank keycap. This update corrects the typo in the ml-inscript.mim keymap file. When the Malayalam input method is used "ca" displays on the on-screen keyboard and appears in documents when typed, as expected. (BZ#653783)

The Telugu script keymap -- te-inscript.mim -- now maps three further Telugu script characters to English-language keyboard keys. The specific changes are as follows: the vowel character U0c60 ("ౠ") is now mapped to the pipe symbol ("|"); the dependent vowel character U0c44 ('ౄ') is now mapped to the back slash ("\"); and the dependent vowel character U0c01 ("ఁ") is now mapped to the capital X ("X"). (BZ#642138)

The Tamil script keymap -- ta-tamil99.mim -- now maps seventeen further input options for generating both Tamil and English script glyphs on English-language keyboards. With the updated keymap file installed and active, the "f" key now generates a question mark ("?"). The other sixteen added options are Control+[key] inputs. They include new input options to generate several English characters such as the copyright symbol (using Control+c), the bullet character (Control+.) and single and double typographer's quote marks (using Control+7 through Control+9). As well, eight further Tamil script glyphs can now be generated, using Control+q +s +w +d +e +g +t and +r. (BZ#653781)
