shifted symbols

The marks above the numbers and the shift-side punctuation.

None of these marks has a key of its own. Each is Shift plus the key printed under it: Shift and 1 gives !, Shift and 9 or 0 gives the parentheses, Shift and the semicolon gives the colon, Shift and the apostrophe gives the double quote, Shift and the slash gives the question mark. Use the opposite pinky for Shift, exactly as for a capital.
