I guess this is where Mac differs from Windows, as its HIG utilizes { | } and
iWork utilizes [ ] < > '.

Not possible to use Ctrl+F4 as that is a reserved shortcut to close the
application.

You are correct that this wouldnt work on Linux.

> </strikeout>

These two would likely need shortcuts not involving F11

Ctrl + 0 is taken by the 'Text body' paragraph style in Writer and Ctrl + Shift
+ 6 is taken in Calc for a number format.

Sidebar shortcuts discussion is here (bug 84502).

This has been implemented in Calc, but isnt available in other apps.
