This does not work for me. Alt+N in Draw does nothing.

This is a good compromise. At least we would have an accelerator for New Page
in Draw.

I believe in Impress the shortcut Ctrl+M is used for compatibility with MS
PowerPoint, which also uses Ctrl+M for New Slide.

The one that makes more sense would be Ctrl+Shift+M, as you suggested.

I don't think this request is about "changes for change sake". If Ctrl+M turns
out to not be a good idea, we should use something as shortcut for the New Page
command.
