To return to previous (direct) mode, just press the same key.
If you need another input method for many other languages, add m17n support by installing uim-m17nlib package as follows:
 # apt install uim-m17nlib

** About Universal Input Method (uim)
Uim is an input method module library which supports various scripts and can act as a front end for a range of input methods, including Anthy, Canna, or SKK (for Japanese), Pinyin (for Chinese), Byeoru (for Korean), and M17n (for many other languages). Most of its functions are implemented in Scheme, so it's very simple and flexible.

If you want to use UimToolbar utilities, which shows and controls uim mode, for system tray, add the following, too.

 $ uim-toolbar-gtk3-systray &
