FYI, Romaja input is not for practical use by design. Your "patch" will
break usual Hangul input. In the 2-bul or 3-bul Hangul IMEs, pressing
space just works as you have seen; it just inputs space after the
precomposed Hangul character. Space is never used for explicit commit
key like what it does in Japanese or Chinese IMEs.

Title:
Romaja hangeul commit behavior unclear, space does not operate as
expected
Status in “nabi” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nabi
I'm trying to use the Romaja method in nabi since I didn't grow up
using a Korean keyboard and I'm learning Korean..... but when I press
space after entering a hangeul, a space actually appears in addition
to committing my last hangeul. so there is a space between every
single hangeul i commit, which obviously causes a problem, because not
each single hangeul on its own is necessarily a "word"
here's an example of where it would cause a problem: if I wanted to type "bag
su chyeo":
박수쳐 (what i expect to commit: what it should be according to the real phrase
and the syllables)
박숯혀 (if i don't press space at all and just "keep typing", possible ambiguous
interpretation and not what i want)
박 수 쳐 (when i press space, correct but the undesired spaces are there)
Perhaps I simply don't know how to use the package, but I wasn't able
to find documentation on specifying how to commit what I just entered.
I can use the right arrow key but that's ergonomically uncomfortable;
I find the space much easier. With scim I press space and it simply
commits, not adds another space, so that's what I was used to. I'm not
using scim because it has another bad focus bug in it.
I'm not sure if this applies to 2-bul and 3-bul, but at least for
Romaja it causes a problem.
I came up with a patch that fixes it in the meantime. I don't claim to
know anything about IMEs but I can confirm that it produces the
desired behavior.
=======================
Add space for commit ability. src/ic.c:~1980
/* PATCH: imitate scim: commit hangeul when space is pressed */
if (!nabi_ic_is_empty(ic) && keysym == XK_space) {
nabi_ic_flush(ic);
return True;
}
=======================
Please consider this behavior for Romaja users.
