The keys with superscripts are toggle keys. The superscript numbers indicate the position of the akṣara in the toggle cycle. Press each of these keys several times in a row to see how it works.
The key x serves three functions: (1) it breaks a toggle cycle and moves the cursor on to the next akṣara, e.g. ii > ஈ, but ixi > இஇ; (2) it prevents a Pulli from combining two contiguous akṣaras into a single composite akṣara, e.g. k.S > க்ஷ but k.xS > க்ஷ; and (3) on being pressed twice it inserts the composite akṣara க்ஷ at the cursor location, e.g. xx > க்ஷ.
Pressing down and holding the Right-Alt key switches the keyboard back to its original QWERTY configuration, e.g. [o] > ஒ, but hitting [o] while holding down the Right-Alt key yields o.
