ዓማርኛ ኣከታተብ | GeezEdit Amharic Typing Help
- Click somewhere on the screen to start typing.
- Single keystrokes type the default sixth order Amharic
characters. Example: striking "tmhrt" types "ትምህርት". These default
characters have sounds similar to those of the English default keys. The
default Ethiopic keyboard is at the bottom half of the screen.
- Click on "Help" and then "Amharic Keystrokes" for help on how to type.
Click on the "X" at the top right corner to close the pop-up window.
- The first order characters are typed while holding down the "Shift" key.
"Shift h" types "ሀ". "ሀ" is the name of the Ethiopic key and is typed with the
"Shift" key just like the Latin "H" key name.
- The second, third , fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth order characters are
typed with the default followed by "u". "i", "a", "e", "o" and "\"
respectively. Example:: "hu" types "ሁ" ," hi" types "ሂ", "ha" types "ሃ", "he"
types "ሄ", " ho" types "ሆ" and finally "a\" types "ኋ".
- The Ethiopic characters with only five vowel forms are typed with the
symbol keys. Example: "q/", "q[", "q.", "q;" and "q]" type "ቈ", "ቊ", "ቋ",
"ቌ" and "ቍ", respectively.
- The Ethiopic symbols '፡", "፣", "።", etc. are typed with the shift key and
the numbers 1, 2. 3, etc..
- The Ethiopic numbers "፩", "፪", "፫", etc. are typed with period key and 1,
2, 3, etc.
- The Ethiopic numbers "፲", "፳", "፴", etc are typed with comma key and 1, 2,
3, etc.
- If the default is not to be changed by a vowel, strike the
"apostrophe" key. Example: "u'" or "u apostrophe" gives "ሥ" while "uu"
types "ሡ" within a specified time limit.
- To mix English with the Geez, click on "Alphabets" and select "Latin".
Optionally, to use the Latin symbols with the Geez keyboard, just double
strike them. Example : "Comma Comma" types "Comma". "Comma Minus" types
"<", "Tilde 2" types "@", etc..
- To copy a document click on "Edit", "Select All" and then "Copy". To paste
the document, open "Notepad" from "Start", "Programs", then
"Accessories" and "Notepad". Click on "Edit" of the "Notepad Untitled" and then "Paste".
"Save" the
document in Notepad by selecting "UTF-8" from "Encoding".
- When finished with the typing or editing in Ethiopic, copy and paste into
your e-mail program, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, etc.. If boxes appear
instead of Geez, download one of the free Unicode Ethiopic fonts, install or
copy it to Windows/Fonts and restart the computer.
