Re: [tlug] Input methods - again!

[Yasuaki Kudo <yasu@example.com>]

If anyone knows how to switch from A to あ to ア in ubuntu (22 or 23) and its default japanese input system with US English keyboard please post?  I tried disabling ubuntu's Alt +tilde shortcut and F7 and F8 but none of them work😅  I still have to use mouse clicks to change modes within Mozc...

This must be a pretty common situation but I cannot find any information...
