i have a windows 7, and i got japanese keyboard stickers too, i placed the stickers on according to a diagram of a traditional japanese keyboard. but it tirns out thst instead of pressing the actual key to get (for example) i would have to press the keys 'ya'. i cant just not use my stickers, they were quite pricey, so is there any way to change my keyboard layout so instead of typing the romanization to get my symbol, i would actually press the symbol?
