           INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE - PALI TYPING TOOL
                  (Buu Thong - Hoang Minh)
========================================================================

Thank you for using the Pali Typing Tool. Below are the MOST IMPORTANT notes to ensure the software operates stably.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NOTE ON CONFIGURATION FILE (IMPORTANT)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you run [ BoGoPali - vominhdenminh (FILE CHINH).exe ] for the first time, the program will automatically generate a file named [ cai_dat.ini ] in the same folder.

   >>> DO NOT DELETE THIS "cai_dat.ini" FILE <<<

Reason:
   - The [ cai_dat.ini ] file stores your custom shortcut settings.
   - If you delete it, all your custom settings will be lost and reset to default.

=> TIP: Create a folder named "BoGoPali", put the .exe file inside, and then run it. Right-click the .exe file -> Send to -> Desktop to create a shortcut.

2. QUICK START GUIDE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. HOW TO TYPE PALI CHARACTERS:
   - General Rule: Hold the Alt key and press the corresponding letter key.
   - Default Examples:
     + Alt + a  = ā
     + Alt + i  = ī
     + Alt + u  = ū
     + Alt + m  = ṃ
     + Alt + n  = ṇ
     + Alt + t  = ṭ
     ... (View full list: Right-click Tray Icon -> Open Settings File)

   - Toggle ON / OFF (Suspend): Press [ Ctrl + F12 ]
   
   - Status Indicators:

     + Dark Green Icon (H):   Suspended (Normal typing).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TROUBLESHOOTING
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. VIRUS ALERT / PROGRAM NOT RUNNING:
   - Since this is custom software written in AutoHotkey, Windows Defender or antivirus programs may mistakenly identify it as a virus (false positive).
   - Solution: If blocked, select "Run anyway" or add the software folder to your antivirus Exclusion list.

B. TRAY ICON NOT VISIBLE:
   - Click the small arrow (^) in the system tray (near the clock); the icon is often hidden there.

C. START WITH WINDOWS:
   - Right-click the program icon -> Select "Start with Windows".
