      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      Need a Korean Keyboard which has Hangul/English Toggle key
      Keyboard driver should be changed in Windows to a Korean Keyboard Driver and the Keyboard Type should be changed to Korean in Linux.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Pressing the Hangul/English toggle key once switches between Hangul , and English. JRE does not generate a KeyEvent for the Hangul key. There is another key to the left of the space bar for Hanja input, for which JRE generates a Keyevent and keycode of 263.

      This can be observed in a Windows/Linux PC running JRE 1.4/1/5/1.6 and opening the KeyEventDemo from the following link:

      Pressing the Hangul/English toggle key once switches between Hangul , and English. JRE does not generate a KeyEvent for the Hangul key. There is another key to the left of the space bar for Hanja input, for which JRE generates a Keyevent and keycode of 263.
