Add hotkey (key command) option for panel flyout menus
There are a number of (small) requests for specific items in flyout menus — I’d like to consolidate that, here, into a GENERAL request in the hopes that it will get a larger response. You may not care if Cmd-J (Ctr-J for PC folks) will duplicate a layer as in Photoshop, but maybe you want to be able to create a new swatch with the key press of your choice.
Hotkey users of the world, unite!

Oh yes. All of these should be accessible form keyboard.
A more general request,
Assignable keyboard shortcuts for EVERYTHING:

I often need the justification panel (found through the Paragraph panel's corner menu) to modify justification and the auto leading percentage.
In InDesign I can create a shortcut to quickly open the panel, but in Illustrator I have not come up with a way to do this through key shortcuts or by creating an action.
Could we make this happen, by adding it to the Key shortcuts somehow? Would like to be able to open it with just one key shortcut that I have set.

A smaller request to have a dedicated one to create Swatch Info object using a hotkey: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49612313

Yes please. So many items that would benefit greatly from this. For example, In Photoshop you can relink a smart object from the main menus so you are able to add a hotkey and replace the asset quickly.
In Illustrator relinking any placed item is far less direct and unable to be automated, but rather an annoying series of clicks and selecting items from panel menus, with no way to automate this process. If many images need to be replaced, this process becomes exceedingly tedious.
