Some versions of MS-Windows, typically East Asian localized Windows,
enable the Input Method Manager (@acronym{IMM}) that allows
applications to communicate with the Input Method Editor
(@acronym{IME}), the native Windows input method service. Emacs uses
the @acronym{IME} when available to allow users to input East Asian
non-@acronym{ASCII} characters, similarly to Emacs's built-in input
methods (@pxref{Input methods}). However, in some situations the
@acronym{IME} can get in the way if it interprets simple
@acronym{ASCII} keys you input as part of a key sequence that
designates a non-@acronym{ASCII} character. The @acronym{IME} can be
temporarily turned off and then on again by using the
@code{w32-set-ime-open-status} function.

** On MS-Windows, Emacs can now toggle the IME.
A new function 'w32-set-ime-open-status' can now be used to disable
and enable the MS-Windows native Input Method Editor (IME) at run
time. A companion function 'w32-get-ime-open-status' returns the
current IME activation status.
