While the original Avro Keyboard application is secure, variations of the open-source app may contain malware. Since Avro does not contain in-app advertisements, you will not have to worry about tracking by invasive spyware while using the tool.Īvro Keyboard is ANSI and Unicode compliant. You can switch between the outputs by clicking on the settings icon within the top bar. While ANSI is optimal for certain applications, the Unicode mode is recommended for most circumstances. How do I change my Avro Keyboard layout?Īvro Keyboard has a GUI with two main modes: top bar and system tray. The top bar will display icons at the top of your desktop screen. If you click on the logo button, then you can get a variety of options: ‘Avro Mouse’, ‘Spell checker’, etc.

You can hover above the ‘Select keyboard layout’ choice to expand the context menu. The keyboard layouts that are available are ‘Avro Phonetic (English to Bangla)’, ‘Avro Easy’, ‘Bornona’, ‘Munir Optima’, ‘National (Jatiya)’, and ‘Probhat’. The active layout will be marked with a bullet point. Additionally, you can press the ‘Show active keyboard layout’ button at the bottom of the expanded menu. While OmicronLab released the ‘Avro Easy’ virtual keyboard layout to simplify typing, the Bornona keyboard is known to be the easiest Bangla layout to use. The National keyboard layout is the standard format in Bangladesh. Avro Keyboard is a highly customizable program that lets you make the toolbar transparent. Additionally, you can move the top bar around the screen. If you prefer to have Avro Keyboard in the system tray instead of the top bar, then you can tap on the logo to select ‘ Jump to system tray’. You can click on the upward-facing arrow to open Avro Keyboard in the system tray. If you click on the Avro image, then you can switch the app back to the toolbar view: ‘ Restore Avro Top Bar’.

The second icon in the top bar lets you open a dropdown menu to change the keyboard from the English language to Bangla. You can simply press the interactive button to automatically change the characters. The current language will be shown in the toolbar. You can select a hotkey from F1 to F12 that will quickly let you switch between keyboards. Additionally, the CTRL and spacebar keys will let you change the mode. Avro Keyboard will track both the Bangla and default keyboard modes throughout all the applications on your PC for a seamless user experience.
