I’d advise to install the “Urdu (Pakistan, CRULP)” layout, as this is the only one to directly include the digits mentioned before.

You can do this under System Settings› Hardware› Keyboard› Keyboard layouts. It’s much simpler to deactivate it under Preferences› Languages› again, and to install an additional keyboard layout instead. However, for Urdu there is probably no need to use the Ibus input method at all. The alternative CRULP layout seems to me much more conform to keyboard standards. with regard to the absolutely unusual place for the numbers in the shift level of the lowest (!) row. It’s because of its totally arbitrary layout, e.g. I think you won’t have any chance to find a keyboard layout like the CLE Inpage Monotype Keyboard Layout for Windows you’re used to. Please tell me that how can i use this layout for typing urdu in lunix.

I don't know Urdu but typing "abcde" I get "ابچدع". If you type now, Urdu glyphs will appear. Now for example open Gedit from your menu and with the focus on Gedit press Space or select "Urdu - phonetic (m17n)" from the status icon. Click the selection box again and scroll down to Urdu. Click the selection box and choose "Show all input methods".

Go to the Input Methods tab and tick the box "Customize active input methods".

You'll also notice a keyboard icon in your status area which you can later also use to change layouts. You can see the default keyboard shortcut to change layouts is set to Space. Press Ok on the next dialog and the IBus Preferences window opens. It will ask you if it should start the IBus Daemon. Code: Select all apt update & apt install ibus ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3Īfterwards find and open "Keyboard Input Methods" from your menu (just start typing in your menu to find it).
