Are piano chords affected by key signature?

Q. I am learning piano chords. the A chord is A C#, and E. When the key signature is, for example, 3 flats (A B E), does that mean that the A chord is changed to A flat, C#, and E flat. If so, when Adim, then is chord now Aflat, C and D?

A. No, they are not affected. To use your example, an A major chord is A - C# - E and that is the case irrespective of key signature.

Original Question

How long should I ideally learn piano chords before moving onto a different key?
Q. I started on the C chords and now I have to learn the Sharps. I don't feel I'm ready to learn these yet until the C chords are sunk well and truly in, That said I don't want to be learning each one for months at a time. I get it, I have to practice but as a rule, how long each day would you suggest a beginner learn his chords for?

Cheers.

A. The only rule is learn the chords until you know them. It might help to remember this:
All major chords are constructed this way: first play the note that is the name of the chord, then go up 4 half-steps (counting all notes, black and white) and play that note, then go up 3 half-steps and play that note. You can actually play the notes in any order and it is still the same chord; whether you play C, E, and G, or E, G, and C, or G, C, and E, it is still C chord, but to find the notes of a particular chord, start this way.
It should not take long to remember what C chord is.
