This is a major issue, but we had to do something about it. If only we could
write a piece of code to detect the keyboard layout and appropriately switch
the shortcuts (or the mos), that would be great. For now, we are far from
it. But the point was, it should finally help people who do want to use
kannada keyboard (true to the spirit of using translations). We decided to
fix it to inscript, since this is the only sure shot layout that will be
available in any desktop. But we are seriously trying to do something about
this.

2. Also in my view "ಉಳಿ(&ಸ)ಸು", ಸೇ(&ರ)ರಿಸು, ಸಂಯೋಜ(&ನ)ನೆಗಳು.. etc words

that is a good point. I guess we can do that.
