Shortcuts

Customize Shortcuts:

Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts... (Alt+Shift+Ctrl+K)

From here you can name your own custom shortcuts set. Use the drop-down selection field to choose "Tools" or "Menu Commands" and find the shortcut or modify/add a shortcut.

Keyboard Shortcuts for "Other Panels" are located at the bottom of the "Menus" tab. It's a small subset though.

It is a mingy subset, indeed.

In a roundabout way one can record a certain amount of Palette menu items as action commands and assign a shortcut to them. Still a kludge.

Take a look at InDesign's custom shortcuts – for example – to see how it should work.
