How do I toggle to katakana input from hiragana with fcitx-mozc text entry? (16.04)

Solution 1:

I do it this way:

  • to type Roman letters or western symbols >> Mozc off
  • to type Hiragana >> mozc on
  • to type Katakana >> mozc on hiragana input, then press F7
  • to type Hankaku-Katakana >> mozc on hiragana input Hiragana, then F8

Open mozc setup (i.e., Mozc settings) and assign your favorite keys

Katakana/Hiragana/Romaji keys are for some particular input methods available in Windows and are from the 20th century...
