Title: [IC] GMK Mono Hangul Add-On Kits (BoW, WoB, OG Beige)
Post by: Fredington on Tue, 14 July 2020, 15:54:12
Hi all,

This is a simple interest check for various colorways of the mono Hangul caps I developed for GMK Red Devils in Bow, WoB, and OG Beige.

Colors will be WS1, CR, and L9/U9.

If interested, please fill out the IC Form (https://forms.gle/JYUnU1VioMBdx8kh6)!

See below for proposed kits:

FAQs

1. Does this work with GMK Minimal? Minimal is WS1, so yes, this will work with Minimal.

2. What is 한자 and 한/영 and why aren't they mono keys like the alphas? These are alternate function keys necessary for complete Hangul support. They are not translations. These keys' primary functions are still R. CTRL and R. ALT, so replacing them would not be appropriate. 한자 is used to switch to Chinese characters and 한/영 is used to switch between Hangul and English (Latin).

3. Can you make the font bolder? As per GMK Red Devils, the font of the primary legends (top left corner) has been slightly enlarged and boldened to be more in line with cherry conventions. However, it will not be as bold as the standard Latin font, as it would not be appropriate for Hangul at this font size. Please use below render from GMK Red Devils as reference for font weight:

Interested in beige obviously :thumb:

Glad to see the Han/Yeong keys - still annoyed I forgot about those originally.

Nice and simple, I like it!

Would won key(s) be a consideration? Probably no need to complicate such a beautifully simple kit, imo, but it's worth throwing the idea out there anyway.

I think that's a good idea. Added.

Also added a 2nd ㅠ for Alice layouts.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES PLEASE!
Finding these and being fast enough on the aftermarket is hard enough as it is.
Love the bars.

While I'm happy with just Hangul legends, curious if there will also be a run for Latin and Hangul alphas as well.
Please make this happen so I don't have to pay 120+ aftermarket prices  :D

I wish these had the full R3 and R4. I could then use them with the GMK N9 Ortho Kit, GMK WoB 40s Kit, etc., for 40% builds.

That would be an ortho set, not a hangul set. But, we always wish for what we need. For each its own.

Posted this on the form, but it'd be nice to have a Windows/GUI key as well. Since the WoB set one won't match with this one

Would be nice if this could be a full alpha drop-in, including punctiation. And maybe numrow for those who use that.

GMK WoB and Minimal both use text mods so their GUI key just says "Super/Code". Since this kit has text mods with translation, it'd be odd to see my Control and Alt keys have translation but the Super/Code key doesn't.

EDIT: I guess actually, unless you add all mods, it'd be hard to have that since I'll only have the translation on the Control and Alt keys, but all my other mods be purely English

I think you quoted the wrong guy, but CTRL and ALT are not translations. They're alternate function keys needed for full Hangul support.

Oops, you're right, I did quote the wrong guy lol. Ah, I was not aware that those weren't translations; thanks for the clarification! Definitely in for when this goes live

HHKB Control please >_>

This is an alphas add-on kit, so there is no reason for it to include an HHKB Control key. If you're referring to the 한자 (Hanja) alternative function (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_input_keys#Hanja_(%ED%95%9C%EC%9E%90)) sublegends, those are intended to be used on right Control keys only, and HHKB Control is a left Control key.

A number of responses have inquired about the weight of the Hangul typeface. I've made the font slightly bolder on the kits above, but please use the below render from GMK Red Devils as reference for weight of typeface (also added to OP):

Hi all,

Small update today:

- Added R4 \| key for increased ISO flexibility
- Updated render reference image from GMK Red Devils, which made the font of the primary legends (top left corner) slightly larger and bolder to be more in line with cherry conventions

very interested!!! Is it possible to make the number row in 한글 as well?
ex:
! 1 = ! 한/일
@ 2 = @ 둘/이 etc...

if fitting both number systems looks weird, then the sino korean numbers (일, 이, 삼, etc) works!!!
