Unijoy is my favorite keyboard layout to type Bangla in Linux and Windows. In this short article I give you the instructions to type in Bangla in any Arch based Gnome Distro. I have tested this on Manjaro Gnome 15.12 (updated to Gnome 3.20.1).
(Note that this will only work on an "Arch" based distro not a Debian based one. If you are not sure if you are using Arch, then try running pacman from terminal. It it exists, then you are probably on an Arch distro.)
Open the terminal (press the Win key or Super key, type terminal press enter). Then run these commands one by one:
Then go to Gnome Settings... Press the Super key (Win key), then type settings, then go to Regions and Languages.
Under the Input sources you will find a plus sign (+). Click it. You will see a three dot item, click it. An item titled "Others" will appear. In the search box below, type unijoy. This will let you find an item titled "Bengali (unijoy (m17n))". Select it, then press Add.
To customize the key combination to switch layout, click back to go back to settings main window. Now click Keyboard, Select Typing. Then you can change the key combination in the "Switch to next input source" item. Just click on the current shortcut then press the keyboard combination you want.
