Space and coma
The rules for adding a space in the Urdu typing are totally different here from that you do in English typing. In English you add space after every word and at the end of the sentence you add a full stop which in Urdu means ‘’khatma’’. For adding space while typing Urdu, don’t click space bar rather click tab and do put a khatma on the end of each sentence. Also remember that you need to add space of one word before starting a new sentence in the same sequence. Same is the procedure with starting a paragraph and adding a coma.
Writing “yeh”
Yeh is one of the most common word used in Urdu and most commonly in the middle of sentences in form of choti yeh. Do the same as you do in manually writing the Urdu language. Same process applies when writing noon in the middle of any word or sentence. Don’t add space until you have completed writing a word. Try to write noon in place of noon ghunna in sentences.
Typing alif and alif mad
If you’re going to type alif mad in a sentence, its better to type alif first and add a mad on it later on. Normally in Urdu inpage, you select the phonetic keyboard and for adding alif mad using a phonetic keyboard, you need to press shift+a.
