| The Inscript keymap is ideal for a beginner because each key on the keyboard is associated with exactly one Telugu character. In this manner, it is very similar to a standard English keyboard, where each key is associated with exactly one English character. Also, it is readily available in most GNU/Linux distributions so you don't need to install any additional software to use it. | The Inscript keymap is ideal for a beginner because each key on the keyboard is associated with exactly one Telugu character.
