Re: [PATCH] adjusting korean key bindings

[Jihyun Cho]

We are miscommunicating.
I understood that you were concerning about users who are still using F9.
And what I want to tell you about is, those
functions(`quail-hangul-switch-hanja', `hangul-to-hanja-conversion')
are doing same job(to input Hanja), but using different ways.
If you think the backward compatibility is a problem, please just
apply the function 'hangul-to-hanja-conversion' in my patch for many
users to want to customize a keymap.
And I have one more asking. There is no bindings for
'Hangul','Hangul_Hanja'. Would you add these bindings?
