Key Signatures are easy to remember. First of all you have to remember the spaces and lines of the the notes of the treble and bass clef. Easiest way to remember the spaces is to remember f the word face. That is the notes f, a,c, e. Then remember every good boy deserves fudge. The notes e, g, b, d, f . Then in the bass clef it is easy to remember the lines starting from bottom to top good boys deserves fudge always. The notes g, b, d, f, a. The spaces acronym is good boys deserve fudge always. Once you remember these lines and spaces you can work on the key signature. As for the key signature you can remember the key of the piece by playing the last chord of the piece

Some of the signatures have more black keys than white - so it seems better to remember the naturals, not the sharps or flats.

You are exactly right. For example, let's say the key of g major has one sharp which is f #. You remember the spaces which is the white key following f #.

No, what I mean is, for example, C# has all sharps - except F and C - so remembering those white keys is easier!
