The ABC Extended keyboard on the Mac is good for all diacritical marks. Combining the option key with a gives the macron: ā, ī, etc. Option + x = underdot: ṃ, ṣ, etc. Option + w = overdot: ṅ. Option + e = accent mark: ś. Tilde is of course option + n: ñ.All the best,JeffDr. Jeffery D. Long

Sent from my iPhoneI'm shocked. I don't pay much attention to the Mac world, but I've been typing Devanagari into everything on my computer for many years (Linux). I had no idea that this wasn't possible or easy on a Mac. Wow. And the Mac used to be the byword for multilingual support. I'm glad it's okay now, at least.Dominik--Professor Dominik Wujastyk*

Previously, I had to enter Unicode Devanagari in something like TextEdit and then copy and paste into a Word document, but was not able to edit it in the Word document. The new development of software has happily changed that situation. Hope this information will be of use to some of you. Best,Madhav Deshpande
