I work with lot of Devanagari text - my Macbook started showing blue screen of death because of GPU issues, its a good machine and I did not want to spend another 2k so decided to wipe OSX Clean and run Ubuntu on it. So far - I like it.
However the most important thing I miss is the keyboard. I wanted to get https://ubcsanskrit.ca/keyboards.html similar keyboard.
I went through http://blog.karawoo.com/2014/11/12/reconfigure-keyboard-layout-ubuntu/ and followed all the steps sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data bit it did not work for me.
Specially I am interested in these 5 combination
Base layout - Devanagari Unicode
Shift - more unicode
Option - some more unicode
shift+Option - SOme more unicode
Capslock - Normal english (US)
Shift + capslock - Capital English (US)
Can experts here please suggest me how can I create Mac equivalent keyboard in Ubuntu. Thanks a million in advance.
