[sf-lug] Linux mint - keyboard switchin hangul

[Andrew Udvare]

Don't know about others, but here is the KDE way:

KDE has options in System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard (on left)
-> Layouts tab.

Under Layout Indicator section, make sure 'Show layout indicator is
checked' and 'Show label' is on.

Make sure 'Configure Layouts' is checked and then click Add.

Limit selection by language: Korean
Layout: Korean
Variant: Default (choose variant)
Label: kr
Shortcut: (assign a shortcut for easy switching like Meta+Alt+K)

This is how I have Arabic keyboard layout switching.
