What is an IME?

An input method editor (IME) is a program that let's characters that you normally cannot. matsuba is an IME for Japanese. matsuba has two special keybindings call henkan (conversion mode) and muhenkan (no conversion mode). In henkan mode, all characters that you type will be converted into hiragana, and pressing the complete key will bring up a list of kanji that can be converted into. In muhenkan mode, your keyboard behaves like it originally does. This let's you quickly toggle between the two keyboards.
