1000s and 1000s of other 10.45-U2 flavors

• Yes, sky is the limit


• In between the 2 extremes of 'FULL' and 'Minimal', 1000s of users can have their own 1000s of flavours of Azhagi+, to suit their own requirements


• In fact, one user, in one system itself, can have 10 different flavours, depending on which flavour he/she wants to use under which circumstances


• An user can share such different flavours of Azhagi+ with other interested users, easily, via Whatsapp itself. You just need to send a small zip file to the recipient user. That's all. Yes. That's all to it.


• All that requires to be done is to extract the full download, get into the extracted folder and delete whichever XML or TXT files you do not require. AS SIMPLE AS THAT.


• Above is the method by which I myself have created the 'Minimal' flavour of Azhagi+ 10.45-U2.


• In fact, you can also rearrange the LFKs to appear in whatever order you prefer, in the starting screen of Azhagi+. For instance, you can have all the Tamil LFKs alone to be listed at the start and thereafter only the other language LFKs. You can watch from 7m32s to 8m47s of this clear-cut video by our brother Sri. Muralitharan to get to know how to do it.


• If you are asking me whether the above methodology to create 1000s of different flavours is new to Azhagi+, NO, it is NOT NEW. It has been existing ever since 2015 itself.


• In fact, XML files (in editable form) have been existing since Jan 2012 itself.


• As a matter of fact, one can create different flavours of Azhagi+ by editing the XML and TXT files (of a 'full' or 'minimal' or any other flavour) too.


• As mentioned in https://azhagi.com/xmls, along with the TXT files, all the XML files are editable too, in simple NOTEPAD application itself.


• In other words:

  You yourself can easily edit ANY of the XML files in NOTEPAD

  • ALL the XML files of Azhagi+ are very easily editable in NOTEPAD application.
  
  
  • You can open ANY of the XML files of Azhagi+ in Notepad and edit them easily, just like you edit any other text file.
  
  
  • By edting the XML files of Azhagi+, one can very easily:
  
  
  1. Change ANY of the existing key mappings of any keyboard layout.
  
  
  2. Delete ANY of the existing key mappings for any keyboard layout.
  
  
  3. Add ANY no. of new key mappings to any keyboard layout.
  
  
  4. Create ANY no. of ones's own entirely new XML files with one's own desired key mappings.
