    Japanese IME disable alphanumeric input


    Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have not been here in like almost 5 years now.

    I have the IME setup such that I can switch from English to Japanese with a keyboard shortcut, but there is one major annoyance: alphanumeric input is always on until I switch it with clicking the toolbar, which defeats the convenience of using the keyboard shortcut. Is there any way to disable the alphanumeric input in the Japanese IME mode? It is literally useless since I can just instantly switch between the two modes.

    :)

    IME Japanese input

    So, set up Japanese as my second input. Each time I hit alt + shift, it will switch to Japanese. However the annoying issue I am dealing with is when it switches to Japanese mode, it is in alphanumeric not hirigana mode, which is extremely annoying because
    if someone switches to Japanese mode, of course, they want to start typing in Japanese, not English, so to switch to hirigana I have to hit CTL + CAPS LOCK, which is annoying to have to do two keyboard shortcuts, why can't I have it default in hirigana mode
    when I hit alt + shift, instead of alphanumeric?? Is there a way to make hirigana the default option when switching to Japanese IME? Let me know thanks.

    IME Japanese input

    I am not sure what the system does when you're only using Japanese, but if English is your main language and you switch to Japanese IME, you always get the A (for alphanumeric by default) rather than the あ which lets you start typing Japanese hiragana
    letters. Now I know it can remember for each program which setting you had it on, however, it forgets after you close, so a simple solution is to load あ by default when switching to the Japanese keyboard rather than the A (for alphanumeric). Why on earth would
    I want to type alphanumeric when I can do that on my English keyboard settings!! I see people complaining about it online, but how on earth MS has not fixed this issue that has been going on too long is amazing.

    IME language bar showing Japanese but won't input Japanese in Firefox

    Hi, I'm having trouble typing Japanese in Firefox. Sorry if this belongs on Firefox's forums, I thought I'd give it a try here first. I hope this is the right topic/section to post...

    After switching input methods from English to Japanese and changing the IME options from the default Half-width Alphanumeric to Hiragana I can't type in Hiragana/Japanese. The only thing it seems to change is the space(The japanese input has wider spaces
    in between words). The same thing happens when I change it to Katakana.

    Default Half-width Alphanumeric

    Hiragana

    This only happens in Firefox. I tried typing Japanese on other browsers and programs and it works fine.

    Any suggestions?
