Microsoft Intelligent IME uses ` as the Leading Key because this key is seldom used in Chinese. However, if you think it is inconvenient to use this key, or it is used for a special function, you can set another Leading Key.

Microsoft Intelligent IME provides two Leading Keys: the  `  mentioned above and the  '  in the lower middle part of keyboard.

Leading Key can be set in all Intelligent IMEs such as Microsoft New Phonetic IME, Microsoft New ChangJie IME and Microsoft New Quick IME. However, in Microsoft New Phonetic IME, the ' must be a key not used in the Custom Keyboard Layout for this option to be available.

  2. Click with left mouse key
  3. Select Properties
  4. Select Leading key in Fine tuning options for your personal typing behavior
