Hi J J,
what do you complain about, just Ctrl+Shift is nothing compared to NetBeans, which demands 150% of that from a single hand with Ctrl+Shift+NumPad (NumPad is the "Fn" key on a notebook's keypad) for "advanced" functions ;-)

So instead of typing :=, I will have to hold down Alt, Shift and type 2099? Seems like a lot of work. :)

I'm looking forward to when underscore-leftarrow is REALLY REALLY gone and we can start having proper-looking OpenGL constants ("GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX" instead of "GLModelviewMatrix"). I like the left-arrow too, but can't we please just leave it to the pretty- printer?
Personally I *hate* underscore pseudopunctuation but what does it have to do with using a proper leftarrow? We have unicode. Codepoint 2190 apparently. Come to that we have codepoint 2191 for a proper uparrow as well. Time we used them. := is for Pascal weenies.
How could anyone type such a character? would we modify the mass-produced keyboard, or create some partially obscure input method? Of course, it would be easy with a pen. I don't understand how Unicode will be anything other than a curiosity as long as the keyboard stays around. Of course, that may have something to do with living in the US, where nobody understands culture.
