Description
In ArcMap:
- Zoom to Layer (Alt + left-click on layer name)
- Open Attribute Table (Ctrl + double-left-click on layer name)
- Zoom to selected row (double-click on row number/cursor)
- Zoom to selected rows (through contextual menu with right-click on row number/cursor)
- Zoom to Layer (through contextual menu with right-click on layer name). Suggested: Alt + left-click on layer name
- Open Attribute Table (through contextual menu with right-click on layer name). Suggested: Ctrl + double-left-click on layer name
- Zoom to selected row (Ctrl + J). Suggested: Alt + left-click on row number
- Zoom to selected rows (Ctrl + J). Suggested: Alt + left-click on row number

Don't we already have F6 to open attribute table?

I didn't know about this Ctrl+J and it does not seem to work, here
It would be nice to be able to create shortcuts that combine mouse click and modifier key like ArcMap allows in some situations. I found that those simple shortcuts greatly improve my productivity.
On a general comment, you can still set your own shortcuts from the Settings menu (see https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html#keyboard-shortcuts)

I forgot to add F6 as a default shortcut to Open Attribute Table, thanks for pointing this out.
As for Ctrl + J, I'm on QGIS 3.4.1 and it works without any problem (I don't think it's something new).
QGIS allows to customize keyboard shortcuts and that's great, however, it doesn't allow a combination of a modifier key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt) and a mouse click, that's what I'm looking for. This kind of shortcut needs to be contextual as it depends on which element the mouse click event is recorded (on a layer name or on the row number of an Attribute Table in my exemples).
