Latvian Input Method (LVIM)

The Latvian Input Method (LVIM) is similar to the Single-Byte Input Method (SIM), except that it is customized for processing the Latvian keyboard. The features of LVIM are as follows:

• Supports QWERTY and Ergonomic groups, as two main groups. There are two more supplementary groups which are accessible through dead keys from both main groups:
  • Pressing the left-alt key and left-shift key simultaneously, puts keyboard in the Ergonomic group.
  • Pressing the left-alt key and right-shift key simultaneously, puts keyboard in the QWERTY group.
• Supports the IBM-921 code set.
