If a component is awkward to type directly, choose its total stroke count and then its first stroke. This is an input aid, not a judgement about how difficult the component is to learn. The five first-stroke classes follow the IRG system.
Look at the character, then describe how it is built. Any imported Yi Bai decomposition for that character is accepted.

How this teaches dictionary lookup
IDS is prefix notation: choose the layout first, then fill its slots from left-to-right or top-to-bottom. The hard-to-input palette uses total stroke count and first stroke (橫、豎、撇、點、折), the same lookup skill used by the structure search.
