Don't get you. I meant that because intra-cluster cursor placement
isn't well representable visually, the only way to reliably place
joiners at a particular place in the text when using a text editor
that performs CTL is at time of initial input.

So if I want to display क्‍ष्य, what I do is I hit the keys for क, ्,
ZWJ, ष, ्, य in that order. If I am faced with pre-input text क्ष्य
and I want to insert the ZWJ in the above position, and if my
platform/application doesn't provide for intra-cluster cursor
placement, I will have to do this to क्ष्य: BkSp, BkSp, BkSp to get क्
and then I input ZWJ and re-type the rest.
