[Indic-computing-users] copy pasting from ncst-term to mozilla browser form

[<al...@ya...>]

Hi folks!
I'm trying to copy some hi_IN.UTF-8 characters from the ncst-term to a field in
form in mozilla 1.1, using GNOME.

(1)
Although copy-paste within ncst-term seems to work - select, right click and
then middle button click, I'm not able to copy the text from ncst-term to the
browser.

Any way out? This may not be indic language specific as I am new to GNOME, so
please bear with me.

(2)
Also, what tools do you guys use for editing devanagari documents on GNOME? I'm
trying to use vim 6.0+ on ncst-term. The trouble is, the matras display
properly but the conjucts don't (while I'm editing). For example the word mukt
- the half ka and ta don't show up the way they should. But if I save the file
and reopen it, or cat it on the command line, the kta does show properly. Any
better way to edit. 

Although this is something I can "live with" as opposed to (1) which is a must,
it would be good to know if there are alternatives.
