    Switching Japanese Windows with English menus


    Yes, I do mean those keys. I tried just switching to Japanese keyboard, as you suggested, but those keys didn't work. Also, the selection key is normally the spacebar in Japan but I could only get IME to work with the Tab key (for those who aren't familiar with Japanese typing: you type in Roman characters, then press a selection key and it steps you through a list of options for the word you are typing in Japanese characters). Did you get the special keys to work as they do in native Japanese mode?

    It may well be that I was missing something, although I did try every option I could think of. In any event, as I said, I gave in and now have Japanese Windows running with English menus and everything seems to be working perfectly.
    Thanks,

    Mike

  4. How to find registry keys for Windows Japanese Keyboard Settings?

    Typing using a Japanese keyboard - windows 10

    I have an English version of Windows 10 installed but have a Japanese keyboard. Whatever I do with the language settings it appears that I am unable to type using the keyboard in Japanese mode - suggesting words when you press the spacebar (not the tab
    key), switching between single and double byte using the extra key to do so, etc. Using IME I can type using the Tab key to suggest changes but it's totally different from the way a standard keyboard works in Japan.

    Is there anything I can do or do I need to install a Japanese version of Windows?

    Everything I can find when searching tells me about IME but nothing about getting a Japanese keyboard working.

    Thanks,

    Mike
