Overview

Type Korean (Hangul) in your browser — no system-wide IME or admin rights needed.

Korean IME lets you type Hangul on any computer, even one where you can't install the operating system's Korean input method (a work, school, or shared machine). It uses the standard Korean 2-Beolsik layout and works no matter what your physical keyboard is set to (QWERTY, Dvorak, AZERTY, Russian, and so on).

HOW TO USE

• Click the extension icon (the "a / 한" button) or press the right-hand Alt key to switch between Latin and Hangul input.
• Start typing — for example, "dkssudgktpdy" becomes "안녕하세요".

FEATURES

• Type Hangul in standard text boxes, text areas, and many online rich-text editors (such as CKEditor).
• On-screen keyboard — a floating keyboard showing both the Latin and Hangul keys. Turn it on or off from the extension's right-click menu.
• Romanize — select Hangul text, right-click, and choose "Romanize" to convert it to the Latin alphabet (based on the Revised Romanization rules, without some of the more complex edge cases).
• Re-edit a finished syllable — put the cursor immediately after it and press Shift+Backspace to resume composing that block.

KEYBOARD LAYOUT

This is the standard Korean 2-Beolsik layout, the same as a physical Korean keyboard — for example, the QWERTY "A" key produces "ㅁ". If you're new to the layout, search "Korean keyboard layout" for a map.

WHAT'S NOT SUPPORTED

• Google Docs — it renders text on a canvas and uses a private editor that doesn't accept input from extensions like this one, so Hangul typing won't work there.
• Microsoft Word online - for similar reasons
• Chrome's own pages (chrome://…), the Chrome Web Store, and other extensions' pages — browsers block every extension from running on these.
