Not yet, but you can set up custom keyboard shortcuts with a Gnome
environment, not sure if that works in Windows or Mac versions.

I use the following:
Shift+4 Process Payment for Customer
Ctl+4 Process Payment for Vendor
Alt+4 Process Payment for Employee
Ctl+n Create Customer Invoice
Ctl+b Create Vendor Bill

Manually enable the ability to edit shortcut keys (Gnome 3 - Fedora 15
for me)
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels
true
..log out and log back in..

To set up all my computers the same I run the following:
echo '(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/CustomerProcessPaymentAction"
"dollar")
(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/VendorProcessPaymentAction"
"<Primary>4")
(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/EmployeeProcessPaymentAction"
"<Alt>4")
(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/CustomerNewInvoiceOpenAction"
"<Primary>n")
(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/VendorNewBillOpenAction"
"<Primary>b")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageReportActions/ViewRefreshAction"
"F5")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MainWindowActions/FileCloseAction" "Escape")
(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/EmployeeFindEmployeeOpenAction"
"<Primary>e")'>>~/.gnucash/accelerator-map

Or you can set your own:

Open GnuCash and highlight the menu item you want and press a key
combination, you will see it beside the item, now it is stuck!

In the past I have enabled with this command:
echo "<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="can_change_accels" type="bool" value="true"/>
</gconf>">~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/\%gconf.xml

And before that I used:
>>System>>Preferences>>Appearance
Go to "Interface" Tab
Enable "Editable menu shortcut keys"

Just depending how far up (or down?) you are on the Gnome scale

Hope this is helpful!
