Aha~ yeah. I'm sure some of you know what thumb shift is?

Well, just in case, it's where you can type in hiragana on a keyboard without initially typing in romaji one key represents one hiragana. For instance, in order to get, 窶堋キ, I have to type the "r" key instead of "su".

I have Japanese IME installed on my computer (umm well obviously >.>) and recently I was just typing in regular English, and my finger slipped and pressed something on the board XD. After that, it had switched to thumb-shift and~ yeah, any idea how to get back to regular Japanese keyboard mode?

Thank you~.^^
 
Try "Ctrl ツ+Shift ツ+ Caps Lock".

I'm not going to nitpick, but you don't need to say あなたの.;-)

助けてくれてありがとう。
助けてくださってありがとうございます。
助かりました。ありがとうございます。

I think the last one is the most natural in this case.

(FYI, what you were talking about is かな入力 "kana input method" as opposed to ローマ字入力 "Romaji input method". "Thumb shift" is the name of a keyboard design just like "US keyboard".)
