--- Comment #2 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Counter proposal:

Alt+Shift+S  - Strong Emphasis
Alt+Shift+E  - Emphasis

Reasons:

1.  Strong and Emphasis are supposed to be "semantic" rather than visual. By
not using B and I (as proposed here), it does not offer a false and easy
confusion between formatting (visual appearance) and character style.
2. S and E are easy mnemonics to remember. 
3. Both keys are not currently used in the "default" configuration.
4. Do not require changing existing definitions.
5. (these key combinations may be achievable with one hand on some keyboards.)
6. Ctrl+Shift+E is a problematic combination in gtk. / Ctrl+Shift+S already
used.


About sub- and superscripts (even though I have learned the existing
definitions, it is probably a good thing to seek an easier combination)

Proposal:

Ctrl+Shift+,  - superscript
Ctrl+,        - subscript

Reasons:

1. are available, do not require changing other shortcuts
2. both use comma  (do not have to remember which key is sub/superscript)
3. Shift should indicate superscript (mnemonic)
4. comma is probably easily accessible in most keyboard layouts.
5. Ctrl+Shift+ +/- are not offered as possible shortcut keys
6. "equal" requires a shift in some keyboard layouts
