  1. Korean IME Input Lost Between Apps / Active Window


    I have several users that want to type in Korean without having to toggle their desired input method each time they click a hyperlink to go to a new web page or change browser tabs. So far this has been an issue in Chrome, IE, and Firefox.


    The process is open a browser, toggle IME with Win+space, toggle Eng/Hangul, input characters for search or login, repeat the toggle for both IME and character when the next location is reached. The user may not even enter info into a webpage, if they had the setting ready to output hangul the click to open a desired link will break the setup.


    I have tried numerous configurations going so far as to make Korean the only display and default language, registry edits, and several combinations of keyboard layouts.


    My question would be is what I'm trying to accomplish even possible without using a native Korean version of Win10? Is the change that occurs when moving between active windows unavoidable? Seems as though even if the language settings do not appear to have changed in the tray, I have to manually toggle IME and character buttons to regain output in Hangul.

    :)

    How to change default input language for Korean IME

    Hello,

    I'm using WIndows 10 Japanese edition, and I also use Korean IME.

    When I change IME Japanese to Korean, Korean IME is in English input mode.

    I have to change Korean IME state English to Korean(Hangul).

    How can I make Korean input mode(Hangul) is default in Korean IME?

    Thanks.

  3. Difficulty with Korean and Japanese IME inputs

    Apologies if this is under the wrong topic. Further apologies for the lengthiness of this question, this was the only way I could explain the entire issue. Let me know if further clarification is required.

    I have recently purchased a Korean keyboard with Hangul written on each key, as well as a "한/영" (han/yeong) key. From what I can tell, the 한/영 key works
    almost the same as the Right Alt key, in that it changes the Korean input between Hangul and Latin.

    However, I've been experiencing some issues with my Japanese input method, and I believe using the 한/영 key is causing these issues. Below I've outlined two scenarios to try and describe my experiences. The error is only with the Japanese inputs.

    Scenario 1:

    • I use the Korean input method, and swap between Hangul and Latin inputs by pressing
      Right Alt.
    • I press Left Alt + Shift to change from Korean to Japanese.
    • If I type "nihongo" with the Hiragana input, it results with にほんご ("nihongo" in Hiragana).
    • If I type "nihongo" with the Romaji input, it results with nihongo ("nihongo" in Romaji).
    This is what I expect/prefer, and I was also attaining these results with my old keyboard.

    Scenario 2:

    • I use the Korean input method, and swap between Hangul and Latin inputs by pressing the 한/영 key.
    • I press Left Alt + Shift to change from Korean to Japanese.
    • If I type "nihongo" with the Hiragana input, it results with みにくらみきら ("minikuramikira" in Hiragana)
    • If I type "nihongo" with the Romaji input, it results with ミニクラミキラ ("minikuramikira" in halfwidth Katakana).
    This is not the result I want. I believe this result ("nihongo" -> "minikuramikira") is from a "Kana" keyboard layout, but as far as I can tell, my settings have not been changed from the Romaji keyboard layout.

    After a reboot, I experience the results from Scenario 1, as long as I only use the Right Alt key to swap between Hangul/Latin.

    However, once I use the 한/영 key, it somehow affects the Japanese input methods and I'm stuck with the results from Scenario 2 until I reboot my computer.

    Besides avoiding using the 한/영 key, is there any way to resolve this issue? Otherwise, any other insight on what could be happening would also be appreciated.

    Some problems in IME for Chinese and Korean

    Microsoft IME for Chinese and Korean has some problem.

    1. Touchscreen interface.

    I use ChangJIe IME in touchscreen. ChangJie IME input is based on Chinese calligraphy and is not phonetic based. In most time, we can easily get only one candidate character. (For example, 倉=人戈日口, no other candidates). So, most time we don't need to select
    character from candidate list. In real keyboard, we press "Space" instead of press number to select character. But somehow, touchscreen keyboard "DOESN'T" allow me to use space key to select character so I need to touch character in the list (even there only
    one) and is very inconvenient. In Android or iOS uses "Space" to hit and select candidate key. If you understand some Chinese, try to see HK Microsoft community and many Hong Kong people complain this problem but seems they just say "We will improve"?

    2. Also touchscreen keyboard, why keystroke appears in the input box? Example, assume we input 倉= 人戈日口(OIAR) so we need press 人戈日口(OIAR) but this will appear in the input box not above touchscreen IME so I need to move my eyes from top to bottom(Example
    we use edge to try search something on the web so we need to type Chinese in the address bar) to see if there is any typo. In Android or iOS system keystrokes will appear at the top of the IME. This should be improved.

    3. Why Chinese and Korean IME include English keyboard??

    I understand most Korean and Chinese people can only speak one or two languages and their display language is also in either Korean or Chinese so therefore they don't need to frequently switch IME and they usually use "Shift" and "Left Alt" to switch English
    input instead of use "Windows + Space" to switch different IME. But why don't you make an option allows Chinese and Korean IME doesn't allow to input English? It is VERY INCONVENIENT when I switch to different language and start to type, it shows English instead
    of Korean or Chinese. in Mac OS, you know they use "Command + Shift" and each IME only has one language and doesn't have problem I just explained. I added "English" in language list to use English as displayed language so English IME also appears in the IME
    list. This makes me to feel I have "Three" English keyboard plus Korean and Chinese keyboard. I'm so sad when I switch to different language and use "Backspace" to remove wrong characters and use "Shift" or "Left Alt" to change language again but I already
    changed to different IME.

    4. Character set for Changjie IME.

    I was studying in Macau so I don't understand simplified characters at all but why those ugly simplified characters appear on the list of candidate keys? I found Microsoft Pingyin only shows Simplified Chinese characters so Changjie IME can eliminates simplified
    Chinese characters. Pleased don't include all characters in Unicode Set of Changjie input but try to eliminate simplified characters in the database or make option to remove simplified characters which are useless for me.
