I'm using InDesign CS6 - I'm having trouble with paragraph and character style shortcuts. When I open a new file (or even re-open a file I had previously set up the shortcuts on), they don't work.
This is how I've been setting them up:
Press OK, they work fine for that specific file for the period I have it open, but that's it.
My keyboard has a Num Pad and Num Lock is turned on, so that's not an issue.

They should stick for the specific document you are setting them up in. If they are disappearing after you set them in that document, then that is a problem.
Overall though, paragraph styles are per document. There are no global shortcuts you can assign. Each document will have its own set of character/paragraph styles. You cannot set them for InDesign overall.
As a solution to the global shortcuts issue, you can setup a template document with the styles in it you want and then "Load" (import) the styles into your new document along with all the shortcuts you set. That would be your best route.
Hope that helps!
