Hotkey for drawing a circle in Illustrator?

Is there a single hotkey I can hit to activate the circle command (like the "C" key in Sketchup)?

How about the rectangle tool?

 

Thanks!

When you hover the pointer over the tools, or when you hold down the mouse button on a tool group menu, if a tool has a single-key shortcut it’s displayed after the tool name for you.

 

 

Also, in the link below you will find all default tool shortcuts if you scroll down to the Select Tools section.
