    I found out that I can assign shortcuts using Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, however the shortcuts should consist a Ctrl (Cmd) to be validated and no arrow keys are allowed! I also use Adobe XD and they have done a great job on alignment shortcuts and how alignment works itself. It would be amazing to have that implemented in AI as well.

    They use following mapping which is very handy:
    Align left: Ctrl + Shift + ←
    Align Right: Ctrl + Shift + →
    Align Top: Ctrl + Shift + ↑
    Align Bottom: Ctrl + Shift + ↓

    Align Center Horizontally: Shift + C
    Align Center Vertically: Shift + M

    Distribute Horizontally: Ctrl + Shift + H
    Distribute Vertically: Ctrl + Shift + V
