   @benoit @codewiz You who have lived in Japan, did you see the natives typing in Japanese on a computer keyboard using romaji or kana with the jp IME? From the few videos I've seen, they use romaji. It surprised me because I assumed only foreigners would do that, but apparently it's more convenient.

     @Fabimaru @benoit Yes, they all seem to use romaji to type hiragana.

     I'm not even sure how one would type the missing hiraganas with the JIS keyboard...

     @Fabimaru @benoit I also use mozc (with ibus), and it can type hiragana directly from QWERTY, then select kanji from a list (which doesn't seem as smart as the Android keyboard, but still seems to move recently used kanji up in the list).

     @benoit
     I use that (Mozc) the few times I type in jp (slowly)

     @codewiz @Fabimaru On the other hand, on smartphone they use this super weird 12 keys hiragana keyboard.
