For greater keyboard layout awareness, here is a more complete
assessment of the situation:
Arensito, Qwertz, Hacker's Dvorak, and Maltron layouts: 3 keys (adding #
is only one extra key because it is unshifted).
Hatchak and Azerty layouts: 3 keys (although it's two for # and one for
:)
Dvorak and Capewell need them both shifted but only one side's shift key.
Neo, Coleman, and Workman all take 4 keys like Qwerty.
#: is onerous for both left and right versions of one-handed Dvorak,
since both require shifting and are on opposite sides of the keyboard.
And I assume you only use these layouts if you have to type one-handed.
On the default AOSP touch keyboard, it take 3 touches to type #:, which
is only 1 more than : alone.
But seriously, I'm totally on the side of #:. In no layout is it such a
burden to occasionally type #:, and if you worry about typing efficiency
or ergonomics a better plan is to switch away from qwerty. Visually I
think #: gives better emphasis to keywords' special purpose.
