Introduction

I use a US keyboard, and on Windows, I switch Japanese input with Alt + `. I wanted to use the same key to switch on Mac, and when I looked it up, I found that it can be changed in the settings.

How to configure (macOS Ventura)

1. Open System Settings
2. Select Keyboard
3. Select Keyboard Shortcuts
4. Select Input Sources
5. Double-click the shortcut notation on the right side of “Select next source in Input menu”
6. Press Alt + `
7. Click Done

Now you can switch between English and Japanese with Alt + `. However, by default, Katakana is included in the input switching cycle, so I removed Katakana from the input sources using the steps below.

1. Open System Settings
2. Select Keyboard
3. Click Edit on the right side of Japanese - Romaji in Text Input
4. Click Japanese - Romaji
5. Uncheck Katakana in the Input mode
6. Click Done

That’s all.
