I mean do koreans use a single IME which allows right alt/ctrl to be used as alt/ctrl while in a korean IME that allows use of hanja-conv and han/young keys. i don't want to keep a US layout around just to use right-alt and right-ctrl.. but maybe i have to.

rwong48 United States105 Posts July 13 2010 07:48 GMT #5 i really don't need the hanja-conv button (yet), even though i know a decent amount of chinese i don't really bridge the two languages together. i just want my alt/ctrl back, lol (while being able to use the han/young key)
