When you type consonants and vowel parts, you should always type the consonant part first, even when the vowel part appears on the left of the consonant. If you press Delete before (on the left of) a combined consonant and vowel, it will be erased completely, but if you press Backspace after a character, only the vowel part will be erased (even if the vowel part appears before the consonant). If you use the arrow keys to move through the text, you only need to press an arrow key once to move past each character. Malayalam vowels and consonants are usually combined, so when you type a consonant and a vowel part, they will be joined into one character. There are also numbers and punctuation marks.
