Hi Monique. This forum thread suggests that you can't directly assign a shortcut like Ctrl-Shift-R to an action, but you can add a custom menu item, then use the accelerator key to that menu item:

For example, you could add a Review menu under the Tools menu with options such as Rejected, Accepted and Completed. pressing Alt-T-R-R would set the status to Rejected, and so on.
You need to code a couple of lines of JavaScript for each menu item and save it in (I think) the Javascripts folder under your Acrobat installation folder. You need the Acrobat Javascript reference, which lists all the supported commands. This might be it: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf
Page 72 covers setting the state of a text annotation. ("For a Review state model, the values are Accepted, Rejected, Cancelled, Completed and None. ")
