How to type in Indian languages in any application?

Start Azhagi+ by clicking it’s icon in the Desktop or Quick Launch Bar.
Change focus to any other application window (e.g. Gmail, MS-Word, etc.) and place your cursor in the application's usual typing/editing area.

Note: Please DO NOT close the Azhagi+ application at this point. You can minimise or hide it to the tray, but do not close it.

Press the required hotkey. For e.g. 'Alt+3' is the default hotkey for 'Tamil+Unicode+PhoneticTransliteration'.
Start typing in English. And, you will see it in Tamil (if you pressed Alt+3), see it in Hindi (if you pressed Ctrl+1), and so on.
That is all to it. So simple. Isn't it? Well, if you opt to auto-start Azhagi+ with Windows, then it becomes even simpler - just a one-step process as follows: "Open any application, press Alt+3 (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3, etc.) and start typing in Tamil (Hindi, Sanskrit, Telugu, etc). As simple as that.

Important tips

The full list of "English to Indian languages" key mappings are in-built into Azhagi+.
You can change the hotkey for any LFK at any time to the one which is convenient for you.
Please read this if pressing an hotkey (say 'Alt+3') does not give you the desired results while typing.
Kindly be aware that Alt+3, Ctrl+1, etc. are all toggles. For e.g. if you press Ctrl+1 once, you can start typing in Hindi. If you press Ctrl+1 again, you can start typing in English. Same is the case with ALL hotkeys (incl. the global hotkey - e.g. F10).
If (and only if) you are using WinXP and if you are not able to type in Indian languages in MS-Word, MS-Powerpoint, etc., please ensure that you have installed Azhagi+ using "AzhagiPlus-Setup.exe". i.e. you should not use the portable version (AzhagiPlus-Portable.zip) of Azhagi+.
If you wish to type in TamilNet99, you have to press the appropriate hotkey. The default hotkey for 'Tamil+Unicode+Tamilnet99' is Alt+Shift+3.
