Issue using the spacebar + japanese IME

So really minor issue but has frustrated a little bit for a while now so thought i’d mention it!
I have Japanese(Microsoft) IME keyboard, sometimes when doing my lessons i come accross a Kanji i haven’t seen before, so i’ll type them into a word document/Anki for reviewing later.
However once i return to the lesson, if i forget to change the keyboard back to an english IME. Then i’ll press the spacebar for more information, which instead of displaying the drop down box it will input a space and to continue i have to reload the lessons and start again!

The problem/challenge is with how IME’s work. From my understanding, since they intercept the input and manipulate it, they don’t return a viable keycode in the Javascript.

We are looking into a couple of work arounds we might be able to create.

I appreciate the difficulty! I’ve survived this long and still love Bunpro, that’s not going to change. If it can’t be done I understand.

If you could figure this out however I would be over the moon!
