The arrow keys, space bar, enter key do not behave normally in Japanese
input mode.  For example, to move the cursor up or down, forward or
backward, or to start a new line, I have to leave Japanese input mode, put
the cursor where I want it, then restart Japanese input mode.  Does your
system do this too?  Or did it?  If I can customize this, I'll spend some
time flogging this after the TL 2.0 release is out and installed and I
know I won't be changing anything for a while.  Or if it can't be changed,
I guess I'll just have to live with it.

My goal is to have a Japanese input environment that behaves just like an
English input environment, except the language being input isn't English.

Was Kinput2 originally written for Unix machines with a VT100 keyboard or
something?  If it was, would that explain the key behavior that seems odd
to a person with a PC keyboard?

Thanks,
