Inputting Japanese characters

Selecting the input mode

The default input mode is for romaji characters to be entered and automatically converted to double-width hiragana. The following function keys change what the romaji characters are converted into as indicated:

Key Input mode

<F6> single-width romaji

<F7> double-width romaji

<F8> single-width katakana

<F9> double-width katakana

<F10> double-width hiragana

Key	Input mode
<F6>	single-width romaji
<F7>	double-width romaji
<F8>	single-width katakana
<F9>	double-width katakana
<F10>	double-width hiragana

NOTE: In some Motif applications, the <F10> key may not behave as expected. In such a case use <Ctrl>T to cycle through all of the above input modes, or use the mouse.
