You can add or modify any shortcut you want. 
In the folder FrameMaker\fminit\configui you can find a couple of files that contain all of the shortcuts. 
The instructions are no longer included with newer versions of FrameMaker. IIRC Frame 7 included a PDF with instructions. 


You can either modify the existing files, or (better) create a file named customui.cfg

This should contain entries in the vein of:
<Modify CharacterDefaultPgfFont <KeySequence /F8>>
<Modify ZoomIn	<KeySequence ^ i>>
<Modify ZoomOut	<KeySequence ^ u>>

'CharacterDefaultPgfFont' is a string you can find in the other .cfg files. Find the string for the command you want to modify, and create a line in customui.cfg. 

;the semicolon indicates a comment
modifier keys: + for Shift, ^ for Control, ~ for Alt, \ for Esc
