    japanese ime shortcuts completely broken.


    Hi. I am having issues with the japanese ime keyboard shortcuts.Currently, none of the shortcuts work. I typically use shift + capslock to switch to hiragana, but it has completely stopped. Additionally, pressing the capslock key results in a switch to katakana.I've tried restarting my computer, and I've poked around in the settings, but I'm really stumped here.

    :)

    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
