What is the Reconversion Key in 10.7.5? On Japanese keyboards, there is a Reconversion key beside the space bar, which when highlighting some Kanji in Japanese will allow you to convert it to different Kanji (shows a dropdown of options). Apparently this was at one point ctrl+1, or ctrl+2, but neither work for me now. Ideas?


  There are some differences between MacOS 10.1 and MacOS 10.2 for "Reconversion" 
  in Japanese IME pencel menu and short-cut keys, e.g. the correct short-cut for 
  JA "Reconversion" on MacOS 10.2 should be "Control + 2", but not "Control + 1" 
  on MacOS 10.1. "Control + 1" on MacOS 10.2 is assigned to a different function 
  other than "Reconversion".
It's the same as Reverse Conversion (⌃⇧R).



You can use KeyRemap4MacBook to get a separate 変換 key.

&lt;autogen&gt;--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::R, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L&lt;/autogen&gt;
&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;
