Hi all,
First, some context:
I'm trying to figure out how to efficiently fix typos after converting in the Microsoft Japanese IME.
So far I know of two options:
Neither of these options are very satisfactory.
The first option is way too many keystrokes, and requires me to leave conversion mode
The second option is slightly better, but still pretty sub par.
For one, "PhaCharLeft" seems to have some undocumented behavior I have no control over. If I bind "Right arrow" to "RadLookup" in every state, after I enter "PhraCharLeft"'s editing state by pressing "Left Arrow" several times, the right arrow key just navigates normally. In other words, the IME enters some 7th state besides the 6 I can access in advanced key template settings.
This wouldn't be a huge problem, because I don't want "Right arrow" to to open "RadLookup". However, how I have no easy way of returning to normal
behavior (having arrow keys move phrase by phrase).
The key template that avoids this undocumented behavior is "IME Standard", however, I can't find any way to fix typos with this template. There's a whole section of keybindings for "Char input into Converted POS", which sounds like exactly what I want to do, but I can't figure out how to enter this mode!
I'm sure it's not the "undocumented 7th mode" from earlier because when I rebind every key to "RadLookup" in "Char input into Converted POS" mode, none of the 7th modes' behavior changes.
So, this brings me to my questions:
How do I enter "Char input into Converted POS" mode?
Is there any documentation of the Japanese IME outside of the IME itself? Some of the descriptions of actions are cut off ("DetThenNext+" for example) and I don't know how to read them.
And a couple of questions I'm just curious about:
What does "POS" stand for here?
Where does this "IME Standard" come from? Who publishes it?
Thanks a lot,
Jack

First, some context:
I'm trying to figure out how to efficiently fix typos after converting in the Microsoft Japanese IME.
So far I know of two options:
- Press "Enter" to determine all of your phrases then, in "Only Input strings" mode, fix your typo, then re-select your fixed phrase and re-convert it.
- Press "Left arrow" until you're at the first phrase, press "Left arrow" one more time, then you can edit the characters in your phrase block without having to determine all of them. This uses the "PhraCharLeft" command.
Neither of these options are very satisfactory.
The first option is way too many keystrokes, and requires me to leave conversion mode
The second option is slightly better, but still pretty sub par.
