Post From: Basic keyboard shortcut not working

It may be that the shortcut is too short. You should not use single keys for a keyboard shortcut, as they could be interpreted by the operating system as regular input, or to do something else (if the key is already assigned, such as the function keys). We recommend using a modifier key (CTRL, ALT, Shift) when setting up keyboard shortcuts.

If not the above, then after you try to make a trade using the keyboard shortcut and it does not work, check the Message Log and the Trade >> Trade Service Log and see if there is anything in either of those that gives a reason for why there was a problem.
