In latest Japanese Mac keyboard has some special keys for changing input method. There are Eisu key and Kana key. In Korea, there is a Korean keyboard which is same layout with US QWERTY. But it has additional two keys which are called Han-young and Hanja. These keys are used for changing Korean/English and translating Korean into related Chinese character.
The point is Japanese one and Korean's one make same ADB keycode on OS X. Kana and Han-young makes 0x68. Eisu and Hanja makes 0x66. I don't know why Apple did that thinng happen. But Apple doesn't support Korean Input method keys. Thanks to Apple, Korean input method keys can be activated on OS X. I saw a thread about patching for Japanese keyboard. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.devel/175 But latest release of VirtualBox doesn't make any PS/2 scancode for Kana and Eisu. So I patched the /src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/darwin/DarwinKeyboard.cpp --- DarwinKeyboard.cpp 2009-06-14 20:49:05.000000000 +0900 +++ DarwinKeyboard.new.cpp 2009-06-14 22:16:21.000000000 +0900 @@ -215,9 +215,9 @@ 0x3d, /* QZ_F3 0x63 */ 0x42, /* QZ_F8 0x64 */ 0x43, /* QZ_F9 0x65 */ - 0x29, /* Zen/Han (JIS) 0x66 */ + 0x7b, /* QZ_EISU (JIS) 0x66 */ 0x57, /* QZ_F11 0x67 */ - 0x29, /* Zen/Han (JIS) 0x68 */ + 0x70, /* QZ_KANA (JIS) 0x68 */ 0x37|K_EX, /* QZ_PRINT / F13 0x69 */ 0x63, /* QZ_F16 0x6A */ 0x46|K_LOCK, /* QZ_SCROLLOCK 0x6B */ and did the same patch to src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/VBoxSDL.cpp , src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxBFE/SDLConsole.cpp. Regards, trip2me.
