I am entering in a series of times to be calculated in Excel. Is there a way to "assign" a key on the keyboard to mean "shift + colon" rather than having to type the shift key and the colon every time?

Yes!! I found an easy way to do this. download and open microsoft powertoys and find the keyboard manager settings. from there, you can remap any key to "shift + ;" (which will produce ":"). simply choose a physical key you will likely never use to remap
"shift + ; " and you're set. i recommend getting rid of the back-slash key :)
