For a german keyboard you need at least 26+10+3+35=74 signs - and what much concepts do not yet handle are capital letters, or a shift key. If it should be really intuitive, you'd have to use special shapes for capital letters, because doing shift and typing the non-capital letter to do a capital letter isn't really intuitive (imho).
