  1. Option for ALT + CAPS_LOCK to cycle back to Romaji from Katakana in Japanese IME?


    Hello,


    I sometimes work with the Japanese IME keyboard. When I enter a new input box, I generally do ALT + CAPS_LOCK to switch from Romaji to Hirigana.


    However, sometimes I go too far over to Katakana, and when I hit ALT + CAPS_LOCK again, it just stays on Katakana. Just now I learned the shortcut CTRL + CAPS_LOCK to go back to Hirigana, but I was wondering if there was a way to cycle back around to Romaji from Katakana?


    Being able to cycle back through from Katakana to Romaji i.e: an infinite cycle of Romaji -> Hirigana -> Katakana -> Romaji -> etc. would be much easier to work with than completely changing my hand position over to CTRL + CAPS_LOCK. Is this possible already? I couldn't find any resources on it.

    :)

    Keyboard layout switches to non-default layout/language after resume from sleep

    You can try the Keyboard shortcuts for Japanese IME:

    ALT-~ (tilde):
    Cycling the input between kana and direct input mode.

    ALT-SHIFT:
    Cycling through available languages.

    ALT-CAPS_LOCK:
    Switches input to katakana

    CTRL-CAPS_LOCK:
    Switches input to hiragana

    SHIFT-ALT:
    Switches into English and Japanese mode.

    Control - ~:
    Switches the current input mode and the English mode within the Japanese IME.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.

  3. Japanese IME shortcuts have been changed?

    Hi,

    It seems that since a few days ago, the Japanese IME keyboards shortucts have been changed? Before to switch from my "normal" input method (French) to the Japanese one, I had to press ALT + SHIFT, but I realised yesterday that now it's WINDOWS + SPACE...
    And all of the shortcuts I was using: ALT+² in order to switch from hiragana, to katakana, to romaji for instance, don't work anymore. What happened? Also, is there a list of all the new shortcuts I could use?

    Thank you,

    Flavien
