Let me illustrate to all you how Chinese is typed on a computer:
here's a picture taken from my iphone of my macbook.
Look at the keys:
bottom left corner - english and/or chinese pinyin input
top right corner - chinese zhuyin input
bottom right corner - chinese cangjie input
I really do not know how to input 倉頡 (cangjie) because it uses parts of the character and some method to puzzle the character up... There has been methods of typing in cangjie, zhuyin and pinyin from thirdparty apps via jailbreaking, although it does not work 100% fine.
All the above methods can input chinese traditional, but zhuyin and cangjie can't do simplified chinese as far as i know. One positive aspect about pinyin is that you don't need to type the accents, which slows down typing in zhuyin method.
to type chinese with pinyin, the default is as follows on a mac (this is typing on firefox's quick search bar):
- command+space to get to chinese, change the top bar to chinese pinyin
- start typing (spelling the word out in pinyin system). you'll see this:
- then press space and it'll auto-pick the characters.
- if the intended characters is not automatically selected, press backspace (delete) and a word list of the same phonetics will pop up and you can then select it manually.
P.S. the words shown here is "hello", "你好".
haha. seriously though, some people are so conceived to the latin writing system. gosh.
