What problem are you trying to solve?
Currently, switching between Kana (かな) and Alphanumeric (英数) requires separate keybindings.
On some keyboards, there are only a limited number of convenient modifier combinations available. Because of this, assigning separate shortcuts for Kana and Alphanumeric is not always practical.
I'd like to be able to use a single keybinding that alternates between the two input modes each time it is pressed.
Proposed solution
Add an option that allows a single keybinding to alternate between Kana (かな) and Alphanumeric (英数) input modes.
Example:
Assign Command-L to "Alternate Kana/Alphanumeric".
Initial state: Alphanumeric (英数)
- Press Command-L → Kana (かな)
- Press Command-L again → Alphanumeric (英数)
- Press Command-L again → Kana (かな)
The same behavior should also be configurable for Command-R independently, so repeatedly pressing only Command-L (or only Command-R) alternates between the two input modes.
Alternatives considered
Using separate keybindings for Kana and Alphanumeric works, but it requires two shortcut combinations.
This is inconvenient on keyboards with limited modifier keys or when trying to minimize the number of shortcuts to remember.
Anything else?
This feature does not need to be a generic toggle mechanism for arbitrary actions.
A dedicated "Alternate Kana/Alphanumeric" action would be sufficient and would cover this use case.
