Regarding the US keyboard, if you like chess:

  1) The right pinkie normally sits on the semicolon,
and if you shift it, you get a colon.
  2) Typing the "P" character is like moving a pawn up
one square (while shifting with the left).
  3) Typing the "[" and "{" is like capturing with the
pawn (one up, one over).
  4) Typing the "_" is like moving the knight (two up,
one over), as are typing the "]" an "}" (one up, two
over).
