Hey Alex!
A nice trick is to rebind the ' key to print ". Then you can make the shifted
version print '.
To day I was experimenting with something similar for the ':'. It's annoying
that it's shifted and is used pretty often; the beginning of a word.
So I programmed Emacs: If I press the ';' key and I'm at the beginning of a
line, it prints ':'.
I also had a fancier variant that Slava inspired. Instead of simply
inserting ':', it inserts the whole word template:
: ( -- ) ;
leaving the cursor where the word name will go.
