Status: RESOLVED FIXED

We should be able to change the input mode of Kotoeri (Japanese default IME) by Ctrl+Shift+k or Ctrl+Shift+j or Ctrl+Shift+;. However, current trunk build doesn't work fine.

Maybe, this is a regression of bug 396832. I think that we should call [super interpretKeyEvents:[NSArray arrayWithObject:theEvent]] when control key is pressed.

I didn't know this Kotoeri's feature, so, bug 39632 comment 12 is my fault, sorry.

I am working on a fix for this. Same bug as 358379 I'm betting.

Attachment: Patch v1.0

Josh:

How about this patch? This seems to fix bug 418226 too.

Masayuki, I have a patch I am working now that fixes most of our keyboard handling bugs, including this bug and bug 418226. I have some things I wanted to talk to you about, mostly making sure I don't regress intl input. Lets talk on irc soon.

I have just tried with both beta 4 and the last nightly build and the Ctrl+Shift+k/j/; still do not change the input mode. They only work when you have already started entering some Japanese.

Vincent:

Don't you use any keyboard utils? E.g., HHK's utils? I have same reports in Bugzilla-jp. But I'm not sure that is our bug...

[Vincent Isambart]

No, no keyboard utils or anything like it. And Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E work fine, as well as Shift+Alt+Z/X (an other way to switch to hiragana/katakana input).
If you want more info (I do not know if it's really useful but well...):
My computer runs 10.5.2, is configured with Japanese as the first language, English as second. I have a American Qwerty (not a Japanese keyboard), and I am using an English build of Firefox.
If you have any other question you can ask me directly by mail, or I can even go on IRC or something like that if you need it.

mmmm.... This might not be fixed on 10.5. Because I and the original reporter of bugzilla-jp use 10.4. Josh-san, can you test this on 10.5?

oops, John-san, sorry...

Vincent and John-san:

Thanks. I filed bug 423814 for 10.5 issue. Unfortunately, I cannot debug before 1.9 final...
