I installed ibus and selected Marathi - itrans(m17n) as input method. It is working as expected.

apt install ibus{,-m17n,,-gtk} im-config -y

My question is how do I make a few minor changes to the keyboard? In other words, if I need something else on keystroke "l", is that possible?

Update:

I copied the following file to /usr/share/m17n/ directory.

https://github.com/shantanuo/spell_check/blob/master/mr-gamabhana.mim

It solved the problem for me. But I am not sure how others will be able to use the file unless it is accepted by ibus package. How do I copy this file to the directory mentioned above using a command like this?

apt install gamabhana

Update 2:

I have crated a deb package that is working as expected.

https://github.com/shantanuo/spell_check/blob/master/gamabhana.deb

How do I submit to apt? Do I need to upload the file somewhere?

Update 3:

When I try to install hunspell language packs, it works for Hindi and Gujarathi but not for marathi. In other words this works...

apt install hunspell-hi

But this does not:

apt install hunspell-mr

I am not sure where to ask if this is not the right thread.

Use the official PPA to install Gamabhana.

First, add the repository.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gamabhana-team/gamabhana

Update the software index, and install gamabhana.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gamabhana

To set it up, open ibus preferences, search for Marathi, and enable gamabhana.
