[sf-lug] Linux mint - keyboard switchin hangul

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Sounds like I got all the way to 

 
>> 

Limit selection by language: Korean
Layout: Korean
Variant: Default (choose variant)
Label: kr>>

so the next step is 

>>
Shortcut: (assign a shortcut for easy switching like Meta+Alt+K)
>>

I will do some reading how to assign shortcuts in my environment and I hope to report success by tomorrow!
Shortcut: (assign a shortcut for easy switching like Meta+Alt+K)

Many thanks,

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.

I have tried different keyboard short cuts to switch to the hangul when I've the Korean keyboard active but nothing happens which is strange. The difference in Korean keyboard compared for example to Spanish is that first it loads itself to the "usual" romanized system with "Western alphabet" and after that you have an option to switch to the Korean native alphabet - hangul. Well in this case the switch to hangul doesn't work and I do not know why, I have tried the "special hangul" function key which is on every keyboard here, combined it with left or right alt, left or righ ctr, both, space key, name it, nothing.
