Version: 1.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-2-686 Back in KDE3 there used to be an invaluable option in kiten: the combination shift+space enabled the user to type in japanese kana in kiten, with caps lock typing katakana and lowercase letters - hiragana. Unfortunately, this option is not available in the new version of the program.
This should be done in an IME like Fcitx, there's nothing specific to be done in Kiten
