Description

Relates to keymanapp/keyboards#1703 where it was determined korean_rr could be used by keymanweb.com, but Keyman for Windows would need the following:

> Other issues found with this keyboard
> The 64-bit version of the dll needs to be built.
> The following dlls do not exist.
> show_ime.dll
> hide_ime.dll
> select_hanja.dll
> scroll_hanja.dll

None of these were implemented in Windows, so korean_rr on Windows did not show any IME interface. So it was primarily web-targeted. But with jamo_combine.dll, it should still perform its basic function.

Our IMX story is very broken right now. We'd need a full time person on it for at least a year to really move forward with it. It's on the roadmap.

I think korean_rr is more popular in terms of its layout than some of the other Korean keyboards. But there are a lot of Korean input methods out there, so this is lowpri for us.
