Tamil99 users should be aware of some shortcuts / Syntax.
1. To write க்க just type க க in sequence. No need to press f after first க to bring the dot over க.
similarly, த+த = த்த, ம+ம = ம்ம.
2. For frequent combination of letters like ந்த, ஞ்ச, ன்ற, ண்ட, ங்க, ம்ப the same rule applies. Just press ந த in sequence to get ந்த. No need to press f after ந.
3. To write நத்தை, press ந+அ+த+த+ஐ.The அ after ந specifies that it is ந and not ந். If you just press ந+த you will get only ந்த. Similarly for தத்தம், தத்தை etc.,
4. Works only in Tamilkey firefox extension and NHM writer - To write அஃது, எஃகு etc., - ஃ following a உயிர் or அகரமல்லா உயிர்மெய், you need not press SHIFT+f to get ஃ . Just pressing f would bring ஃ in these places. Because the natural key output for f, the புள்ளி cannot occur after உயிர் or அகரமல்லா உயிர்மெய் according to tamil grammar.

Since I’m using Tamil 99, it’s very useful!
அத்தை, சொத்தை!
