#ON SCREEN KOREAN KEYBOARD FOR MAC OS#
However, this project does not seem to have been developed any further since September 2011, and at the time it was done for Mac OS 10.5. This is an actual COMPILATION of the program files, based of the above developer code, version 2.3, build 44. The project's unencoded files are posted here:
#ON SCREEN KOREAN KEYBOARD DRIVER#
BELOW a copy of the README text that comes included:Īttached files derive from (using Xcode) an development version of an unfinished Korean keyboard driver project done by a developer under the nickname han9kin (Suh Sanghyuk). the preferences are set between the published version 2.2 and this newly compiled v.2.3 (as you will already detect when comparing the second and third image on this page). But there certainly are various differences of how e.g. The only small difference (between the OS 10.7 and OS 10.8 versions) are the developer library versions they were compiled against-this may or may not make a difference. 2011) into actual program files (compiling a version for OS 10.7 and one for 10.8). I have compiled the just mentioned developer code posted for version 2.3 (Sept. Still, the Hanulim driver seems the only choice for Mac users. I see that some problems and limitations with even the latest uncompiled development version 2.3 are discussed here: - about 2/3 down that page, comment by user 'gulbee' and follow-up comments. However, it seems this project was deserted in 2011.

I see there is an attempt to further update the Hanulim drivers at a new project site at GitHub: Otherwise it works, as far as I can tell. Since these "Hanulim" keyboard drivers were last updated in 2008 for Mac OS 10.5, the "Keyboard Viewer" will not work with them if you are already under OS 10.8 (Lion), so you will have to try things out. Make sure to put a checkmark in front of the box "Dubeol Archaic." It will then appear at the usual spot, upper right of your screen. After that, go to the Apple menu, to "System Preferences" and there to "Language & Text" and click onto the "Input Sources" tab. You may have to reboot your Mac-better you do.
#ON SCREEN KOREAN KEYBOARD INSTALL#
You can simply download and install the Hanulim keyboard driver ( 하늘입력기, version 2.2) package from 2008 it includes a so-called "Dubeol Archaic" keyboard driver ("Dubeol" = 두벌식):Īfter de-compressing the downloaded ZIP file you will see a file named "Hanulim." Push this "Hanulim" file into the folder "Input Methods" (that is a sub-folder of the "Library" folder (which resides directly on your hard drive).

But a programmer-Suh Sanghyuk, his nickname is han9kin, has done the job for Old Korean. That kind of editing goes beyond the quick edits that Ukelele allows, takes far more time, scripting knowledge, and logistic considerations.

But doing so requires rewriting code, using Apple's main development tool, Xcode, and also Interface Builder (now completely integrated into Xcode). Well, there is a way to edit these "keyboard layouts" that are more than just keyboard layouts. Editing a keyboard layout that is used in conjunction with one of the input methods and installing it does not seem to work." (.) there is apparently no way to customise them. As the author of above script explains in his user guide: "These differ from keyboard layouts in that they usually use some sort of secondary window for assembling a character from a series of key strokes. Unfortunately, for the so-called CJK group of languages-Chinese, Japanese and Korean-this will not work. If you download John Brownie's Ukelele editor ( ), the best such editor there is for editing keyboard mappers (keyboard layouts) and at the same time the easiest one to use, then you can edit all the standard keyboards for the Mac. You can type Old Korean on the Mac, of course, but you do need a keyboard driver to help you with the input. Recently this came up on the KoreanStudies Discussion List. Those working with Old Korean (basically pre-1900 Han'gŭl) on Macintosh computers will require a special keyboard driver to input these special Unicode font characters.
