Thank you, it works. This now leads to one more question: As some punctuation characters, especially Zenkaku ones, are not accessible in Kana-Nyuuryoku mode,
Which ones? The most common ones, i.e. 、。・ are easily accessible on the JIS X 6002 layout. For the others you can use the special symbol input of Canna.
is there a simple way to toggle between Kana-Nyuuryoku and Romaji-Nyuuryoku?
I don't think so. I don't know any way to change the value of (setq romkana-table "default.cbp") in ~/.canna later when the canna-client is already running. [...]
- I was not sure on what key to put the 'ー' in my JIX X 6002 keymap. According to Figure 5-10 on page 248 in Ken Lundes book "CJK Information processing", this character should be on the same key as 'ろ' (shifted). Therefore I mapped '_' to 'ー'.
The mapping is ok for me. I assume that the line together with "ro" is not the Kanji for "ichi", but the Katakana symbol for vowel stretching. Is that correct?
Yes, it is the vowel stretching character:
