PPro has very few available keyboard shortcuts, and doesn't make them available to CEP extensions. Perhaps your extension could import a workspace (by bringing it in associated with a .prproj) with your extension open, and to which a user could assign a Workspace shortcut.

Not directly unless the user has the panel focused. Some people have made workarounds with global shortcuts and detecting if the app is focused but this is tedious and chnages per OS.

 

I would avoid shortcut-based workflows in CEP panels if possible.
