Hello,

 I am a undergraduate student at MIT(Manipal Institute of
technology),India pursuing Btech in  Information Technology.


After going through all the idea list I found idea of improving
Keyboard layout most fasinating.And I also like to further improve
that idea by including a new feature that I think is a fasinating to
users.



After impleanting all that features that are included in the the list
"Improvements to keyboard layout configuration and display" i want to
further add "MAKE MY KEYBOARD" option in it.in this option user can
create his own keyboard graphically.for eg. instead of 'g' if user
want to print word "gorav" he can do it.Means if now user click on 'g'
word "gorav" will print.It can be implement in all language.It can be
done quite easily as suppose my default keyboard device event file is
event5 then after accessing /dev/input/event5 i can get what key is
pressed by user.

Brief summary of all work that i will do in this project:

1) To display the chosen keyboard layout graphically.

2) text input cursor (AKA caret) would display current layout - this
way when user fixes his eyes on the text field he'll be typing in he
can tell right away which layout is active in a particular window. In
this task i am thinking to put a transparent word in that language at
the current curser point which will hide whenever user start
typing.the transparent word will start showing again on the current
curser point if the user stop typing for some time(we can give it to
default 10 secs and user can also change it).for eg. if in a window
the user is working in English a transparent word 'en' will be shown
on the current curser point.if he is working in hindi transparent word
 हिन्दी will be shown.

3) MAKE MY KEYBOARD feature.
