Try typing du instead of zu.

Thank you, will try that. I have another question. How do I type ぢ?

Try typing “di” instead of “chi” to get ぢ。

The logic behind this is that simply, chi and tsu are in the t column.
So if ta becomes da end te becomes de, then ti (-> chi) becomes di (-> dzi), and tu (-> tsu) becomes du (-> dzu).
Similarly si (-> shi) becomes zi (->dzi)

Yes, but “ji” works just fine for this in any IME I’ve used.

That’s because of a different romanization systems, though, and the fact that ‘j’ couldn’t represent anything else so there’s no ambiguity. ‘j’ is accepted as じ じゃ じゅ じょ in a way that ‘zu’ couldn’t possibly be accepted as づ because ず exists.
sssh ぢ doesn’t exist

I use that one too, but I was mostly expanding upon the logic of the way the IME works for づ and ぢ

Typing じゃ with “zya” isn’t so mainstream I see.

I downloaded an app to my phone which has a map of all Michi no Eki in Japan, and it uses the weirdest romanisations, like someone with a romaji keyboard typing each kana out explicitly. For example:

Well, “zya” is very awkward to type since it involves the little finger twice in rapid succession. 
So slow and tiring…

I use zya, tya and similar forms, as I find them more logical and consistent with other ya/yu/yo forms.

It’s in the WK user guide. I know、bc I asked the same question and the mods updated the FAQ to reflect same.
The guide isn’t always easy to find、but incredibly useful. Hope it helps you on your journey!
