If you have a Gnome based window manager, start ami_applet.
If you are running KDE start wmami. In a Debian system running KDE you will find ami under “Utilities.. Debian..Ami.
You might try to start ami, by typing the following commands in a bash-shell.
$ export XMODIFIERS=@im=Ami $ export LC_CTYPE=ko_KR.eucKR $ ami & |
Now there should be a new item in the KDE or Gnome sidebar. Klick on the new item and now the following dialog should appear:
If you see just garbled characters then you should check again the prerequisites.
The tabs on the top show (from left to right) "keyboard", "setup", "key binding", "appearance". Then follows a list of available keyboards. From top to the bottom they read
"µÎ¹ú½Ä" -> “2-set keyboard layout“
"¼¼¹ú½Ä" -> "3-set keyboard layout"
"¼¼¹ú½Ä_S390" -> "3-set keyboard layout S390"
It seems that these layout correspond to korean typewriters. Please feel free to use the one which prefer.
The buttons at the bottom say "About Ami", "Save", "Quit". Pressing "About Ami" will show you the following dialog.
The options from top to bottom are:

Starting with Ami version 2.0 (a prelease can be found at http://people.debian.org/~cwryu/debian/ami/) it is easy to customize a keyboard for the various european languages, e.g. german keyboards are of the QWERTZ type, whereas US are QWERTY and french AZERTY.
Have a look at /usr/share/hangul_keyboard (the exact location may vary depending upon where ami is installed in your system). There you find *.kbd files.
Get the one which is closest to you needs, copy it to a new file in the same folder, edit it with a editor capable of displaying hangul characters (e.g. gedit) and change the few keystrokes which you would like to change.
Then restart ami 2.0 and you should see a new item with your new keyboard.
