Probhat

Probhat (প্রভাত) is a free Unicode-based Bengali fixed layout. Probhat is included in almost all Linux OS(s). Its key mapping is similar to Phonetic pattern but typing method is fully fixed.

On OS X, custom keyboard layout files are supported. Inspired by the original Probhat layout, I designed this layout.

Similar Probhat keyboard layouts may exist, but mine is unique in that it supports OS X actions using specific hotkeys.

CMD ALT CTRL
⌘ ⌥ ⌃

Which means, even when Probhat layout is activated, you can still use ⌘+A to select all, ⌘+C to copy, ⌃+D to send EOF or other ⌘+⌥ combinations.
