Keystrokes only matter if you are hunt'n'peck typing and need to pause between holding down the shift key and pressing the 9 key. Otherwise typing ( is little different than typing 9, its pretty much all the same regardless of what character you type. For an even half-arsed typist like myself, hitting the shift and 9 keys happens almost simultaneously. Technically it might involve two fingers but its effectively a single movement. If you micro-analyse this, not all keystrokes are equivalent. They use different fingers, different hands, the movements are different. The fact that some characters need two simultaneous keypresses is not so important. -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
