      how can i center objects to the center of the page? i.e. all the centers should overlap with the center of the page?

          If you go to Window>Object and Layout>Align, you can align objects to each other (selection), but also to the margin, spread, or page.

                Not every single command inside panels can be assigned a shortcut to but these 32 are available:
