Hi I have found out that the colon actually is done by making two small lines under each other on the screen. I am not perfect in english, but if you make the two lines straight vertically under each other you never know if it will be a colon og a semi-colon. But if you make them go a little to the left it will always be a semicolon, logical for me because the comma in the button of the semi-colon is usually handwritten as at line that goes a little down to the left. If toy make the two lines under each other go a little to the right it will always be a colon.
