Configuring imhangul options on Linux

Posted on 4:34 PM by Unknown
In a previous post I suggested using imhangul rather than ibus in Lubuntu 13.10 because of issues with the latest version of ibus. imhangul has been working well for me, except for one problem: by default, the combination of the shift key and the space bar ( shift+space ) toggles the language input. This was a real pain as I often unintentionally hold down the shift key after typing capital letters. As a result, each time I wrote "I " it would switch to Korean. Super annoying.

Luckily, I finally came across a solution. Though imhangul seems not to have a way to modify its settings, you can do so by creating your own config file. This was my first time doing so (Ubuntu noob), and here's how I did so:

In your home directory ( /home/yourusername ) create a blank text file and name it .imhangul.conf (the initial dot is needed, as the file will be a hidden file).

Next, paste this text into the document:

# 상태창은 안보이게. imhangul의 상태창은 Nabi가 알아서 보여줌
enable_status_window = false

# Nabi에서 한영,한자키를 설정하고 그 이름을 그대로 아래 값으로 복사해 오면 됨.
# 한영키
hangul_keys = "Hangul", "<Shift>space", "Alt_R"

# 한자키
hanja_keys = "Hangul_Hanja", "F9", "Control_R"
 
Now you have a basic config file for imhangul. Because I don't want the shift+space combination toggling the language input, I just removed the
 "<Shift>space", 

Done.

Typing in Korean on Lubuntu 13.10

Posted on 7:51 PM by Unknown
I recently updated my Lubuntu netbook to version 13.10 and was appalled to discover that iBus is now a mess. If you check the forums, you'll see loads of horror stories about this new version of iBus and how many Asian script users (Japanese, Chinese, Korean...) are having difficulty making it work. Most are switching to alternate input methods. For me personally, I got iBus working for Hangul typing, but I had to keep manually switching between English/Korean by clicking with the mouse on the keyboard input icon in the toolbar ("panel" I should say). That is annoying. I have a Korean keyboard and want to use the 한/영 character.

I don't know if this is the best option out there, but this is working for me and I'm satisfied. Here's what I did:

Changing iBus to imhangul

Basically it boils down to: install Korean language, remove iBus, install im-switch, activate hangul

  1. In the Language Support (or whatever it's called for you) settings, I installed the Korean language pack.
  2. Using Synaptic Package Manager, I searched for, and removed, all entries relating to iBus.
  3. Using Synaptic, I installed the packages im-switch and imhangul which will ask for the removal of im-config and the language config settings
    Yes, this will remove the Language Support entry from the System Preferences Menu, but if you already installed Korean langauge pack, you won't need it. You can always manually re-install it later too. 
  4. Log out and log in (or restart)
  5. To access the settings, run im-switch in a terminal. A settings dialog will pop up asking to choose your input method. I chose imhangul
  6. Log in and log out
  7. Go to Keyboard Layout Handler
    (I no longer have this setting in the System Preferences menu, but it's still present in my toolbar/taskbar/panel)
  8. Under the Keyboard Layouts section, click "+Add", scroll down to Korean, expand the arrow to choose "Korean 101/104 key Compatible" and enable it. I also removed the entry for English. 
Now I can type in English or switch to Korean by using the 한/영 key on my keyboard, which I just did right there. Look I'll do it again 다시 사용하고 있지 wow that was much faster than clicking.

For some ways to configure the settings in imhangul, see my post here.

I hope to switch back to iBus at some point, but I think I'll wait for the 14.04 release. Hopefully it will be sorted by then.

Adjusting scrollbar width on Lubuntu

Posted on 3:29 AM by Unknown
I recently updated my Lubuntu and noticed that the scrollbars are now nearly too thin to see. On a netbook, it's almost impossible. Fortunately, it's easy to fix.
  1. Run this command in a terminal:
    sudo leafpad /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-default/gtk-2.0/scrollbar.rc
  2. Edit this line in the resulting document that pops up:
    GtkRange::slider-width = 20(replace "20" with your choice. 20 is a bit thick but that's how I like it. That's what she said)
  3. Logout and Log-in again. Done.
