This input method allows one to type Hangul syllables (or elements) using a standard Korean keyboard layout. Note that your keyboard must be, if not a Korean keyboard, at least configured to use a QWERTY layout; otherwise some keys will be misplaced. Unless you are Korean and/or familiar to the layout of Korean keyboards, this is probably not the best input method for you: try the "korean" input method (based on transliteration) instead. The composition process requires a lookahead of a syllable; the Hangul elements retained in the buffer are displayed on the status line at the bottom of the screen. The backspace key (or control-H) removes a character from the lookahead buffer if it is not empty, else it is passed on to the application. Control-C, control-D and control-G empty the lookahead buffer if it is not empty, else they are passed on to the application. If a syntax error occurs in the input (a vowel without an initial consonant, or too many consecutive consonants), the elements that cannot fit into a syllable are output directly (uncombined). Composed final consonants and composed vowels are formed by typing the two elements consecutively. Special key: [Z] (capital Z) protects the following key, which is handled as is without any processing.
