    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.

    :)

    Can't switch input methods for Japanese Microsoft IME

    Not to be obtuse, but do you know Windows 10? This person is talking about the Windows 10 IME for Japanese, the one that gets installed when you add Japanese as input language. I have the same problem: alt-shift toggles between languages just fine, but by
    default the Japanese IME lets you type in latin characters ("romaji") and while we SHOULD be able to switch that input mode to hiragana, katakana, or even direct input, those options do not work. Even using the mouse to click the "A" and then selecting "hiragana"
    (written in Japanese for whatever reason all of a sudden, it used to be in English unless you were running in full Japanese locale mode) does _nothing_

    So: how do we fix that? What do we do in order to get the Microsoft Japanese IME to change input modes (not input languages) when Japanese is active?

    Japanese IME with German QWERTZ-Layout

    Thanks for the reply,

    I did add the input language japanese(日本語), as well as german(Deutsch (Deutschland)), english and french.

    In the options screen for japanese, I only have the option to:

    • download handwriting
    • further settings for speech recognition
    • change layout of hardware keyboard (only japanese and english keyboard available)
    • remove/add new keyboard (Microsoft-IME or third party IME)
    • configure Microsoft-IME
    Thus I assume the language package has already been intalled.

    In Region & language in the language list, there is also written that the language pack is installed for japanese.

    I am looking forward to your help.
