When creating a new object style, I want to simultaneously assign a shortcut key for it.
However, I haven't found the corresponding properties. Please advise.

I currently want to set the shortcut key to: Ctrl+Alt+Num2

Something very similar has been discussed fairly recently. There is a way to do it, that involves using InDesign Snippets:

Thank you very much.
But it's still too complicated and difficult to use.
I've given up.

Setting the paragraph style seems to have worked.
But I don't know how to set a shortcut key.
