Thank you for such elaborate reply!

So, pinyin is like a Lego brick: on keyboard you have a set of building blocks to form a symbol. Makes perfect sense. I'm well familiar with old school mobile phone layout (2 - ABC, 3 - DEF and so on). Once you familiarize yourself with the layout, typing becomes a second nature. The same applies to pinyin.

Again, thanks! Every day you learn something new.
