How to configure own shortcuts for styles?

Question

When I Ctrl+B a selected text, it will become bold. Alas, this style is directly formatted, which means it gets lost once I default via Ctrl+M. Yet whenever I reset the whole document, I only want it to lose some other direct styles, that I introduced by copying from different resources.

So I defined my own non-direct character style, "mybold", and am now wondering how to configure a keyboard shortcut to apply it onto the current marked text. As manually selecting it from the Styles and Formatting List gets very tiresome fast.

You can assign keyboard shortcuts to styles in the Tools > Customize menu. In the "Keyboard" tab, the bottom of the Category field, you can expand Styles to find your custom styles. Then just assign them a shortcut in the top field, click Modify and OK.

I know it's a very old question and that I should comment, but I don't have enough reputation. There's a very simple workaround to avoid the toggle problem. Just assign another shortcut (I use Ctrl+D) to the default character style.
