If one stroke of shift is so important, you should ditch () and use [] to represent the primary list structure :-)

(Or you would use Symbolics keyboard which you can type () without shifting.)

As a sidenote, square brackets are harder to type on Finnish/Swedish keyboards than ordinary parenthesis. The former requires Alt Gr + {8,9}, the latter Shift + {8,9).

(Why am I using the Finnish keyboard layout to edit code? A bad habit from the past, admittedly.)
