I get the same behaviour, I would like to test the keyboard rules though to see if this keyboard rule problem or a keyman engine problem.

@LornaSIL or @DavidLRowe Are you able to help me out on this one? I have loaded this into the debugger and I believe the output is for nts is correctly following the keyboard rules. I would like to suggest the keystroke sequence to achieve the output for the creator of this issue. However, I am not sure how to work that out.

More detail
n
Matches rule on line 6545 Rule
+ "n" > dk(key_9) "ൻ"

t
matches line 7174
"ൻ" + "t" > context dk(key_11) "്റ്"

s
matches line 6973
"റ്" + "s" > "ഋസ്"

I think we can transfer this to the keyboards repository and tag the keyboard author. As you say, line 6973 matches the described behaviour, so it's a function of the keyboard and not a bug in Keyman Engine.

@beniza can you take a look?

[DavidLRowe]

I don't know the Malayalam script and I'm not familiar with this keyboard. From a brief look at the documentation, it seems that typing n-ts gives ൻറ്റ്സ് which, although closer, is not quite the expected sequence (ൻ്റ്സ്).

@cibu Can you please look this.
