# Keyboards

With the users' pitfall in typing Khmer words in mind, Khmer Angkor focuses on the unification of the character orders and spelling rules. These make Khmer Angkor uniquely different from any other keyboards. Khmer Angkor's keyboard layouts were adopted from NiDA keyboard which is widely used at the present. Here is the keyboard layout:

You can simply use Khmer Angkor as you would for any NiDA based keyboard. You may type a word in an order of how it is spelled, not how it appears to be, especially when the vowel is to the left of the consonant. For example, to type the word “តែ” which means ‘tea’, one should type the consonant first and then the vowel (i.e. press key “T” and then “Shift E”).

The order of characters is:

Consonant + Subscript(s) + Consonant Shifter + Vowel + Diacritic
